Character Parade

Calling all characters! Book characters, that is! In a celebration of reading, Brassfield students will parade the school on October 31st carrying their favorite book, dressed as their favorite character. Classrooms across the school will tie the experience to grade level curriculum. From Winnie the Pooh to Harry Potter we can't wait to bring books to life! Be on the lookout for specific information on how to participate from your teacher. Track 3 families are encouraged to come back to school and participate, but be sure to check into the front office with Kimberly when you arrive.

Here Comes the Bus App

Wake County has a new way for parents to receive information about bus arrivals! The Here Comes the Bus app translates GPS data into an easy to use map that works on a computer, tablet or smartphone. It allows you to see where the bus is and how close it is to your stop. You can sign up for Here Comes the Bus at https://herecomesthebus.com/getting-started/. You will need the district code (67500) and your student’s ID number to sign up. For your smartphone or tablet, download the app from the App Store or Google Play.
