Important Updates
GREAT NEWS: National Magnet Schools of America School of Distinction for 2022
I’m excited to announce that Brentwood Magnet Elementary has been named a National Magnet Schools of America School of Distinction for 2022.
We are so proud of this wonderful accomplishment for our school!
REMINDER: COVID reminders
If a Brentwood student or someone in the home tests positive for Covid-19 please contact the office at 919-850-8720 to speak to either Ms. Ochoa or Ms. Blankenship for further guidance.
REMINDER: Smart Watches and Gab Watches
We have noticed an increase in Smart Watches and Gab Watches in the building since the winter break. Please review the expectations for these devices from the WCPSS Student/Parent Handbook:
“ Except when permitted for instructional use by the teacher, no student may use a personal device (laptop, phone, tablet) during instructional hours. See Board Policies regarding Technology Responsible Use and Code of Student Conduct. Students are expected to comply with these policies when students use a school or personal device on school property, at school-sponsored events, on school-based transportation, or any time a personal device is connected to district technology resources. Any device used in violation of these policies will be confiscated and returned to the student’s parents. See www.wcpss.net/ GuidesToTechnology for additional information”
If you have any questions about this policy, please contact school administration.
