As we begin the new year, we hope you and your family enjoyed the holiday season!
Most of you have likely been watching and listening to the news coverage of the events unfolding in Washington D.C. over the past few days. Our students, our community, and our nation are living through a challenging time. We understand that we have a diverse community that may have varied reactions to current events. We are committed to supporting our students and providing a safe environment for students to share concerns, ask questions, and express their feelings.
Below are some resources that may be useful to you and your family:
If you have any additional concerns or questions on how to talk with your children, please contact your school principal.
Our next Board Meeting is scheduled for Thursday, January 14th, at 6:15 p.m. The agenda and supporting documents can be found on our District website and by clicking here. A brief progress update regarding our transition to reopening for in-person instruction (as well as providing a full distance option) will be provided to the Board under the Superintendent Update.
Sincerely,
Dan Deguara
Superintendent
Parcel Tax Oversight Committee
BRSSD is looking for two additional members for our Parcel Tax Oversight Committee. One must be the parent or guardian of a District student in grades 6-8. The other must be a community member who resides within BRSSD District boundaries but is not the parent or guardian of a District student. The Committee meets to review and provide guidance on the District’s use of parcel tax funds. If you are interested or know of someone who might be, the application can be found here.
Free lunch for students AND siblings
Parents can now order free lunches for children under the age of 18, even if they are not enrolled in BRSSD. To participate in this program, you will need to add your sibling information to your LunchMaster account. You can find instructions on how to do that here. See our website for more details on lunch ordering and pickup instructions: brssd.org/lunch-program.
Enrollment Begins on January 20th!
The first enrollment period for the 2021-2022 school year starts this month! Siblings of current students in grades K-5 should enroll between January 20th, 2021, and February 28th, 2021 to receive sibling priority assignment. All other new students (including current TK students) should enroll between February 3rd, 2021, and February 28th, 2021, to receive a first-round school assignment. To enroll, families must complete the online registration form on the BRSSD website and submit all required supplemental documents. BRSSD will accept document submissions electronically or by drop-off at a designated location.
