NATIONAL SCHOOL LUNCH WEEK
The elementary
school will be celebrating National School Lunch week October 8-12. Plan on eating with your favorite Brashear
Elementary student(s) during this week.
An adult lunch costs $2.85.
Please let us
know the day before you are eating by sending a note with your child or giving
us a call. The schedule is as follows:
Monday Kindergarten 12:08-12:33
4th Grade 11:05-11:30
Tuesday 1st
Grade 12:10-12:35
5th Grade 11:00-11:25

Thursday 3rd
Grade 12:09-12:34
Friday 6th
Grade 10:55-11:20
We are asking
that you do not bring younger siblings, as they will have a hard time with the
lunch schedule and procedures. We are
also asking that only one guest accompany your child for that day.
PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES
School will be
dismissed at 1:03 p.m. on Thursday, October 18th for parent teacher
conferences. Conferences are scheduled
from 1:15 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. If you have not already done so, please
contact the appropriate office to schedule an appointment for your
child(ren). You will be able to pick up
first quarter grade cards at the time of your conference.
Please note that
we will not have school on Friday, October 19, 2012.
The
Brashear Elementary Student Council will be collecting Box Tops again this
year. Last October, we sent in a
collection of Box Tops worth $762. In
February, we sent in another collection worth $480. This year we would like to set our goal at $1,400. With your help, we will be able to reach
that goal. Every Box Top you collect is
worth $.10. Thank you for taking the
time to clip Box Tops, the money we receive really does help the school.
PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT SURROGATE PARENT PROGRAM
Pursuant to the
requirements of state law 162.997-999-RSMo, the State Board of Education is
required to appoint a surrogate parent as such time as it becomes evident that
a child with a disability does not have a parent or a person acting as a parent
to participate in matters dealing with the provision of special education. For purposes of surrogate parent
appointment, “parent” is defined as a biological parent, a guardian, or a
person acting as a parent of a child including, but not limited to, a
grandparent, a step parent, or a foster parent with whom the child lives. The term does not include the State if the
child is a ward of the State. The term
does not include a person whose parental rights have been terminated.
The local school
district is given the responsibility to determine when a child with a
disability who requires special education and who resides in the District is
without a parent. The District must
notify the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education of the
need to appoint a surrogate parent.
Training for persons serving as surrogate parents will be provided by
the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and the District.
If you are
interested in volunteering to serve as a surrogate parent, more information can
be obtained from the Districts’ surrogate parent contact person - the person
responsible for the District’s special education program.

The
Parent Teacher Club met September 17 in the cafeteria with 10 members present
to discuss the year's goals, playground, birthday pantry, fundraisers, and the
possibility of merging with PTS. The
Club discussed purchasing a large piece of equipment suitable for our available
space and the students using the playground.
With the grant discount, the goal is within reach, but must be ordered
by October 31 with payment in full.
Currently the Club has $9,990.27.
The Club received approval to send out another Fun Pasta order in
