Good Evening, Bryant Families,

Here are the messages from Bryant for this week.

Literacy Night. Thank you to all who contributed and attended our event Thursday night! That was a great scene enjoyed by nearly 300 children and families. Thank you!

Family-School Relationship Survey, Feb. 17 - March 17

Bryant’s staff cares about your perspectives. Please take this survey. It’s open through Tuesday, March 17 and takes about 10-15 minutes to complete. We encourage you to complete a survey for each child. This is one way for leaders to hear feedback on our school culture and classroom environments. We want to hear from you to better understand your experiences. Bryant’s staff will use the results!

The online survey is available in multiple languages, including Spanish, Khmer, Russian, Vietnamese, and Ukrainian. The survey will open in English, but you can change the language in the top right corner. The survey does not collect names and all responses are confidential.

Take the survey now: https://bit.ly/4aiPv5v Thank you!
