It's been a GREAT first day! We have worked furiously to have car tags ready for you, but unfortunately, our efforts were not enough to complete them before dismissal. All students will receive THREE car tags tomorrow. That means today's pick up and tomorrow's pick up will be slowed by having to ask for your students' name to call on our radios. Our car pick up system is smooth and easy once we have car tags and procedures in place. If you did not get to see the video in the Back to School presentation on yesterday's weekly blast, please take time to watch it as it explains our process. Thank you for your patience as we make sure to get your child home safely!
Mrs. Edwards

Have you downloaded the Bryant Public Schools app? Email notifications have been sent to parents (PreK, Grades 1-12) to create your Rooms account. Need help? Visit bryantschools.org/page/rooms.
Rooms is a new platform for both our teachers and parents. If you do not see all of your student's information on the app, please know we may still be working on some of the content and data.
The Bryant Public Schools mobile app is the go-to place for district and school events, news, announcements, HAC, staff directory, and menus. A new feature called Rooms will provide two-way communication with your child's teacher or coach. Rooms replaces the apps used across the district to one communication channel .. our app.
Parents will receive an invitation to begin using this feature on Friday, August 11. Kindergarten parents will receive an email on Thursday, August 17 to complete their sign up.
