Bridport Community Newletter

Update from Principal Matthew Brankman
December 1, 2023
Dear BCS Community,
As we fly into the month of December, lets take time to pause and take the month of December to focus on togetherness and a true sense of belonging.
At BCS, we foster a sense of belonging every single moment of every single day. It looks like teachers greeting every student in the morning by name, filling our bookshelves with stories that represent all, creating environments where it is ok to make mistakes, and coming together to play, grow and learn. Our goal is to make sure every student at Bridport feels like they belong in our community and that they are valued.
This month, we will focus even more on coming together as a community of learners and celebrating one another.
As always, thank you for sharing your awesome kids with us everyday,
Jenny Urban
Assistant Principal

Awesome Things that Happened at BCS this Week!
Preschoolers are working on drawing skills by completing directed drawings with Ms. Heather. Their skills improve everyday.
Kindergarteners are on a roll! They are reading and writing every single day, real words AND real books. We are so proud of these early learners.
1st and 2nd graders wrote incredible writing pieces about their Thanksgiving break. They used capitals and punctation!
3rd and 4th grade reviewed how to work in a group, then practiced explicitly by building puzzles together. They marked off on when they were showing the attributes they discussed. It was great practice for all!
5th graders have been volunteering in Preschool and being incredible role models for our youngest learners. Thanks, friends!
Resources
Help our schools with one simple form!
All school meals will be free again for ALL students.
But, it's still VERY IMPORTANT to complete the free and reduced meal application form. Our district gets $475,000+ each year based on the % of students who qualify for free/reduced meals. So, if you fill out the form, you help us qualify!
A paper application will come home with your child, or apply now online.
