Renovations and 2009-2010 School Year Updates

June 3, 2009

Parents and Students,

I want to take the opportunity to thank you for your hard work and support this school year.  I would also like to congratulate you on your accomplishments and success.  It has been a year filled with many opportunities and challenges, and you are to be commended for your efforts.  I hope that each of you enjoy a wonderful summer.

As you know, Bryson Middle School is in the process of renovation.  The renovation will continue into next fall, and should be completed before the end of the first semester.  Currently, our gymnasium, media center, auditorium, and the 400 and 500 hallways are under renovation.  These areas should be complete before students return on August 19.  This summer, renovation will also begin in our office wing, as well as the 100, 200, and 300 hallways.  As of June 8 the administrative and guidance offices at Bryson Middle School will be relocated to Hillcrest High School.  You will be able to contact us using our current numbers.  The main number will continue to be 355-2100, and you can also reach us through our current e-mail listings.  We will continue to receive information through our current fax number of 355-2194, and our mail will be delivered to Hillcrest High School.  Our temporary offices will be located in the main office area of Hillcrest High.  You will need to enter the front doors of Hillcrest High and follow the signs to locate our offices.  We will do everything possible to be available to you during this transition time.

As we look toward next year, I would like to make you aware of our back to school plan. On Monday, August 17, we will have our First Night Welcome Event for all new 6^th graders and other new students.  This will take place from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. On that same day from 7:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. we will be distributing schedules and other important information to current rising 7^th and 8^th grade students.  School staff and volunteers will be set up and available during these hours to accommodate you.  The first school day for students is August 19^th. 

We ask that all students come with the following supplies:

One large binder ( 3” or larger )

One package of subject dividers

Loose leaf paper

Pens / Pencils

One pouch with notebook holes to hold pens / pencils

Again, I would like to wish all of you a wonderful summer.  It has been an honor to serve as your principal this year.  We look forward to a great 2009-2010 school year.

Sincerely,

Phillip Davie

Principal
