May 1, 2009
Thank for your support to your children during TCAP week! Our staff thinks the children did a terrific job on the state test. We almost had 100% in attendance, which shows you did a great job getting the children here! McBrien has planned a lot of family involvement activities for the end of the year, which has already started. I will list all the other activities following my note.
If you know family, friends, or neighbors who have an upcoming Kindergarten child, they will have the opportunity to register them in their zoned school on May 6. McBrien’s registration will begin at 9:00 – 11:00 A.M. Things that you will need for registration:
2 proofs of residence (copy of lease and utility bill)
Tennessee Shot record (before school starts)
Physical exam (before school starts)
Social Security card
Birth certificate
If you are planning to move out of the area or out of our zone, please call the front office to let us know. This helps us plan for next year. .
We have had a wonderful year and are anticipating a wonderful month of May with your children.
I hope to see you soon!
Mrs. Bell
The Administrative Team
Please take care of all debts to receive reports cards on the last day of school
Please keep all contact and telephone numbers updated for your child’s protection here at school.
As we go through the winter months please be mindful of the Dress code: khaki pants/skirts, solid polo collar shirts, solid cardigan, solid color Leggings and v-necks sweaters and tennis shoes only.
Do you need child care before and/or after school? Did you know the Hamilton County Schools offer a child care program at McBrien Elementary? We provide homework time, arts and crafts, music, reading, games, outdoor play and much, much more.
The hours of operation are Monday-Friday 6:00 a.m. until 7:50 a.m. for morning care and 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. for afternoon care. There is a $10.00 non-refundable registration fee per child. The daily rates are very reasonable at $3.00 per morning and $6.00 per afternoon. Unlike most private day care programs, you only pay for the sessions that your child attends. There is a sibling discount on daily rates when both children attend on the same day.
If you would like more information, or would like to register your child for before and/or after care, please see Mrs. Stacy Ellis before or after school or call 861-6880 ext. 115. Hope to see you soon!

For the protection of all McBrien children, always present your yellow identification card at the front door at dismissal before we release your children to you. If you do not have this, please come to the front office with a picture ID to get one. Even though you are familiar to us, this is a good practice for the safety of the children.
Parents of Walkers!
Children who walk home are sometimes stopping at the Pioneer Frontier to play. This is unsupervised by adults and children could be in harms’ way. Also, if you are having your child walk to you to your car, we cannot assure the proper people are getting your child. You may want to walk to the front doors and present your yellow identification card.
Don't forget to save Box Tops for Education!
Earn cash for our school every time you shop for groceries. Clip Box Tops coupons from hundreds of your favorite products found at your local grocery store. Each coupon is worth 10¢ when our school redeems them.
