Bridport Community Newletter

Week 10
October 26, 2025
Howdy, Bridport!
What a rewarding experience it has been to connect with so many of our families during our fall conferences! It’s always a highlight to see our students confidently sharing their work and celebrating their initial accomplishments of the school year. The energy and enthusiasm in the building over the past few weeks, as teachers, students, and parents collaborated on learning goals, truly captured the strong partnership we have in our school community.
Thank you for making the time to attend these important meetings. The discussions we've had—focused on reviewing progress and setting clear goals for the remainder of the year—are absolutely essential to your child's success. We are looking forward to a productive and engaging year ahead as we work together to support every student in reaching their full potential.
If you haven't had your conference yet, the window closes in two weeks- and please reach out to your child's teacher to schedule if you haven't yet.
See you all soon,
Jenny
