Hi, BRMS Families!

Wow, it is already October. We have had a great solid month of school. The kids are all adapting to their schedules and getting in routine. We have lots of good things happening at BRMS. One highlight is our trust cards. Students who have kept their trust cards have enjoyed many rewards and we have our big 9 week incentive coming up soon. The purpose of trust cards are to reward positive behavior and academic success.

Our character word for Capturing Kids Hearts this month is Self-Direct. Self-directed learners have choice, voice and autonomy. They design, manage, and lead their own learning experiences based on personal needs and interests. We want them to be able to lead themselves to who they want to be in the future. We are challenging students to partner with you this month to grow and develop their ability to self-direct. Please have conversations with your child to help guide them to who they want to be. The newsletter attached has some great information and resources for this month's word.

We are BETTER Together,

Mrs. Perez

Great news parents, students have access to check their own grades in the Student Portal. They will be able to see all their assignments and grades once they are posted in the portal by the teacher.

We want to clarify a few things according to District Policy. Students have 5 days to retake a failed assignment. That 5 day timeline begins when the grade is communicated to the student. Teachers are expected to put in grades weekly, however the student might have had the grade communicated to them prior to the teacher inputting them in Parent Portal. Teachers can communicate grades in various ways such as handing the assignment back, verbally, or through another platform such as goggle classroom. It is the students responsibility to ensure the retake or alternate assignment occurs within the 5 day timeline. Please reach out to Mr. Bunting if you have any questions (brayden.bunting@brisd.net)

Just a friendly reminder that students should not be carrying medication including over the counter medication in their backpacks/purses. All medication can be kept and dispensed from the nurse clinic. There is a short form that must be filled out for all prescriptions or over the counter medications that your student may need. Inhalers and Epi-pens are the exception to this and may be carried by the student and a form must be filled out for those as well.

If you have received a letter regarding immunizations, those are due October 11th. You may email me a copy of any immunizations to Melissa.miels@brisd.net or drop off a copy to the office. All exemption letters must be the original notarized form.
