Welcome to 2012-2013!

We successfully closed out the 2011-2012 school year with many classroom performances and celebrations including our 5th Grade Celebration and Awards Ceremony.  The new school year is just days away for Tracks 1, 2, and 3. 

The first week of July teachers and staff members will be in and out of school attending staff development sessions on content for the new Common Core, their specialty areas and in house staff development on literacy and rigor.  Staff will also have time to prepare their rooms for a new set of students.

You may notice some changes in our building for the new school year.  Our foyer now has a seating area for parents and visitors to our campus.  Our glass display case will soon hold the BRES Mission, Vision and Value Statements, photos of our school community members and activities and achievement data.  You may also see new faces in our hallways and in classrooms.  We are so excited to welcome new staff to our BRES learning team.
