Bryant Schools is providing an opportunity for parents to change their student's instructional option (blended or virtual) beginning second semester (January 2021).
In order to effectively plan schedules for student classes, we are asking parents to submit a form for EACH student (K-12) even if you plan to continue your current learning environment. PreK parents should not complete this form since PreK is only offered onsite.
We will use your selection to place your elementary student in an onsite/virtual classroom or develop your secondary student's schedule for the second semester (January 2021) of the school year.
Information on both blended and virtual learning is available on our website: bit.ly/2StNz1c.
If you have questions, please email your building principal.
THE FORM WILL CLOSE ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2020 at 11:59pm.

October is Dyslexia Awareness Month. #LearntheFacts
Dyslexia has nothing to do with vision OR intelligence. It is a language-processing disorder and is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and poor spelling and decoding abilities. It can affect reading, writing, spelling, and speaking.
