August 24th - First Day of School

Dear Bryant Elementary Families,

As we wrap up another incredible school year, I want to thank you for your partnership, support, and trust throughout the year. Together, we have celebrated student growth, achievements, and many memorable moments that made this year special.

We are so proud of all our students for their hard work, perseverance, and positive attitudes. Thank you for the encouragement you provide at home each day—it truly makes a difference in your child’s success.

As summer begins, I encourage all families to take time to relax, recharge, and enjoy quality time together. Summer is also a wonderful opportunity to keep learning alive through reading, exploring, playing outside, and trying new experiences.

On behalf of the entire Bryant Elementary staff, thank you for a fantastic school year. We wish all of our families a safe, fun, and restful summer break. We look forward to welcoming everyone back next school year ready for another great year together!

With appreciation,

Mr. Preston Fischer

Safe + Sound Iowa offers students and families a convenient way to anonymously report safety concerns related to our school. Trained dispatchers will share the information with appropriate school administrators and/or law enforcement so help can be given to those in crisis or at risk.

Visit Safe + Sound Iowa for more information.

The safety of our students and staff is paramount. The District uses Standard Response Protocol or common terms to communicate our actions and response to an emergency situation. The terms Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, and Shelter are used so students, staff, and first responders understand the situation and how best to respond.

We encourage families to become familiar with these terms to better understand our school’s response and what to expect in a crisis situation. For more information on safety preparedness within the District, visit siouxcityschools.org.
