Good Evening, Bryant Families,

Here are the messages for this week.

Popcorn Friday. Last Friday we had our monthly treat, courtesy of the PTO. Thank you to the numerous parents who commit hours each month to help make a nice treat for our students. That effort is invisible to most, but it is appreciated by all. Thank you!

Jump Rope Fundraiser. It’s underway. Join in! Jump Rope Fundraiser Flyer 2026 Bryant.pdf 

Family-School Relationship Survey, Feb. 17 - March 17. Only 25 surveys submitted so far.

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!
