Dear Bryan Road Elementary Families:

 

School Holiday

The Martin Luther King, Jr holiday will be celebrated on Monday, January 20th. There will be no school for students and staff.

 

Teacher Workday

Tuesday, January 21st is a teacher workday. There will be no school for students.

 

Winter Wonderland

Join us on February 13th from 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm for this year’s winter family event. We’re excited to welcome Mathnasium, Christy’s DancExplosion, and Nicole Wiwa’s robotic friend. Parents will have the opportunity for teacher conferences (please register with your student’s teacher) along with time to engage in make-and-take activities.

 

WCPSS PreK Online Application Now Available

Families of children who will be 4 years old by Aug. 31, 2025 are eligible to apply. Families can submit one application to determine their eligibility for one of three different services: WCPSS Title I Pre-K, NC Pre-K or Telamon Head Start. 

 

Quarter Two Award Ceremonies

We are excited to recognize students during our Quarter Two Awards Ceremonies! Students will be spotlighted for demonstrating our CARES/APLA characteristics (Responsive Classroom), consistent above grade level performance in reading and/or math, and perfect attendance. Invitations will be sent home on Friday, January 10.

 

 

WCPSS Guidance for Student Illness

With cold and flu season at or near its peak, please reference the Wake County Public School guidelines for making the decision about keeping your child at home or sending him/her to school. (Flu, Viruses & Colds)

• If a child registers a fever using the thermometer provided to the school by WCPSS, the child must be fever free for 24 hours without using a fever reducing medication in order to return to school. 
• Parents may submit up to three personally-generated notes (handwritten/typed, email, and/or Talking Points) for three separate cases of student illness. After the third parent-created note, a doctor’s note is required for an excused absence.
• Please notify the front office of any approved adults who can be allowed to check out a sick student. This allows us to work with parents’ daily schedules and availability to come to the school.

BRES Calendar

Please check out the Bryan Road Elementary School School Event Calendar link on the school’s homepage for upcoming events.

 

Identifying Personal Items

Parents are encouraged to add student names to jackets, coats, and water bottles. These items are most likely to be added to the Lost and Found. When names are added to the items, we are able to reunite them with their owners.

 

Girls on the Run

Girls on the Run is an afterschool program like no other! Twice per week for 10 weeks, girls will have fun, make friends, increase their physical activity levels, and learn important life skills. Trained and caring coaches lead 3rd-5th grade girls through interactive lessons and movement activities. The season ends with a celebratory 5K event.

 

This year’s program is still seeking coaches among our parents and teachers. The student participation fee is waived for parents who serve.
