REMINDER: Plan B - 4th/5th  Grade - Cohort B

 

4th-5th grade students assigned to Cohort A will return to school on Monday, December 14.

 

Here is the calendar for when Plan B students will be in the building or working remotely.

 

REMINDER: Health Screenings

As a reminder, when arriving at school, all students will undergo a health screening before entering the school building.

• Any student who has a temperature of 100.4°F or higher will be rescreened again after 5 minutes to retake their temperature. 

 

• In the event a student’s temperature remains above 100.4°F, parents will be notified to take student’s home. 

 

• Please try to keep your windows down, and heat off when waiting in carpool for your child to be screened. This will ensure that we capture an accurate temperature of your child.

 

REMINDER: Brentwood Afterschool Program

We will be partnering with Raleigh Parks and Recreation for our After School program. The program will be held on the Brentwood campus on school days from 3:00 - 6:00 for a cost.

 

The program strives to make available a high-quality program at a low cost. The goal is to include a variety of curriculum-based programs such as arts & crafts, fitness & nutrition, and homework assistance.

 

Registration is open and needs to be completed through Raleigh Parks and Rec. For more information and the registration process, please visit:
