Bridport Community Newletter
October 13, 2023
Dear Bridport Community,
The change in weather has been abrupt, beautiful, and a little unsettling! It reminds us that the school year is well underway and that as temperatures cool, and fog begins to settle in the valleys each morning, the intensity and focus at school shifts as well. To be ready to access the challenging academics each day, students need to feel safe, be well rested, and come to school feeling loved and calm. These basic needs are universal for all of us, and our focus at school is to give each child what they need because we love them, and because we know that they will need the things we will teach them this year as they move through their lives.
Our school community is strong and getting stronger. We must hold each other accountable for our actions and words, give lots of recognition when people do wonderful things, and always approach each conversation (even challenging ones) with empathy and compassion. When our students experience adults working through disagreements calmly and kindly, they will learn those skills as well.
Conflict is an inevitable part of life...and it is often good and productive. Learning to work through conflict productively is the work we all share. Jenny and I continue to be honored to have the opportunity to work with all our students and caregivers.
Thank you for your continued support of our amazing school!
Jenny & Matthew

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.
