From the Administration

Dear Parents,

On March 1-5th, we will have several fun activities center around the enjoyment of reading for “Read Across America Week”.  March 2nd, will officially be Dr. Seuss’s Birthday.  All students will be given the option to dress up as their favorite story character or wear their pajamas.  On this day we will have guest readers to come and read to each class.  It’s going to be an enjoyable time.

We thank you for helping us with our second candy sale.  You are helping to support our school until the very end.  For all the students who participated in the sale your child will be notified of the prize level for which they receive their prizes.

Finally, I want to encourage you to send your child(ren) to school feeling good about themselves.  Their self-esteem affects their attitude toward learning.  Our students are great here, and there is wonderful teaching which takes place at McBrien.  If you have questions regarding your child’s academics please call the office or your child’s teacher to set up a conference time.   Mr. William Fain

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day

    Wednesday, March 2010

Important Notice

      Pioneer Frontier Playground is not a supervised area before or after school.  It is not a safe place for your child to be unless you are with them.

Child Care

       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!

ALERT

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.
