FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT
There have been many
exciting events happening this year at BHS! If you haven't had the chance, be sure and check
out the Elementary Leader In Me page and the district web page! We have
had star students, outstanding marching band performances, and post season
recognition for our softball and baseball athletes...all cause for
celebration!
One new item being
discussed at Brashear and around the state, 4 day school weeks. It has
peaked lots of interest, both positive and not so positive. Is it right
for us? What are the benefits?
What are the drawbacks? How does
it work? What time would we have to start the day? What about the
day we are not in session? There will be Open 4 Day School Week
Conversations on November 29 and December 6 from 6:00–7:00 p.m. in the school
ibrary. Bring your questions. We will be forming action teams
to get answers and probably find more questions to ask! This is a time to discuss our first thoughts
and first concerns and from there find a direction that is right for Adair
County R-II.
See you soon!
