BRYANT SCHOOL MISSION STATEMENT

BryantElementary School will ensure rich educational opportunities in an environment of mutual trust and respect.

Notes from the Principal’s Desk …

The Bryant Buzz is a way to communicate with our Bryant families. Last year, parents indicated on surveys, that you wanted more communication from the school. So….the Bryant Buzz will continue to be published weekly. My goal is to publish a smaller version of the newsletter and send it home with students every Thursday this school-year. If you have any suggestions on something you would like to see in the Bryant Buzz, let the office know. I also have asked grade levels to provide weekly newsletters to parents on classroom activities. This is an effort to INCREASE communication with our parents. If you would like to receive a weekly email from me with the Bryant Buzz attached, please send me your email address to . The Bryant Buzz is a great way to stay on top of what is going on at school!

The Bryant School website has been changed over the summer to make it more parent-friendly. I have asked teachers to post newsletters, notes, assignments, and general information about their class. You can find the Bryant Buzz also under newsletters tab for the entire year. The link to the website is

I know you received a TON of information on the first week of school but if you have not returned any of the permission slips or other forms, please take care of this important paperwork as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please contact your child’s teacher or the office if we can assist you in anyway.
