NATIONAL SCHOOL LUNCH WEEK

 

The elementary school will be celebrating National School Lunch week October 13-17.  Plan on eating with your favorite Brashear Elementary student(s) during this week.  An adult lunch costs $3.05.

 

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     11:05-11:30

                        4th Grade          12:17-12:42

  Tuesday          1st Grade          11:00-11:25

                        5th Grade          12:19-12:44

  Wednesday     2nd Grade         11:10-11:35

  Thursday        3rd Grade         10:55-11:20

  Friday 6th Grade          12:21-12:46

 

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 1:15 p.m. on Thursday, October 23rd for parent teacher conferences.  Conferences are scheduled from 1:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.  If you have not already done so, please contact the school 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 24, 2014.

 

BOXTOPS

 

The Brashear Elementary Student Council will be collecting Box Tops again this year.  Last October, we sent in a collection of Box Tops worth $790.  In February, we sent in another collection worth $413.  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.

 

“October’s       Party"

 

October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came,—
The Ashes, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The sunshine spread a carpet,

And every thing was grand;

Miss Weather led the dancing;
Professor Wind, the band....
The sight was like a rainbow
New-fallen from the sky....
            ~George Cooper

 

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.

 

INCLEMENT WEATHER

 

As the winter season approaches, we are reminding parents and students to listen to the local media stations to check on “early dismissals” and/or “no school” bulletins.  This information will be given to KTVO television, KHQA television, WGEM television, KIRX radio, KTUF radio, KRXL radio, KLTE radio, KRES radio of Moberly, KMEM radio of Memphis, and KZBK radio of Brookfield.  These stations will present dismissal information as soon as decisions have been made.  Please do not call the school.

 

TITLE I PROGRAM

 

Brashear Elementary is a Schoolwide Title I School.  This designation means that all of the students in the elementary are eligible to benefit from the services provided through this program.  Such services include: individual and small group instruction in reading, math, and/or science; programs purchased with Title I funds, such as Reading Eggs and MobyMax; and tutoring for those eligible students.  These programs and services are available to ALL students in the elementary because of that designation.

 

In the beginning of the year packet, a parent information sheet was included.  On that sheet, you may have noticed Title I as being marked for your child(ren).  All students, K-6, were marked as Title I students because of our Schoolwide designation, not necessarily because they are receiving individual or small group instruction in the Title I Reading Room.  If you have any questions, please call Mrs. Shipman at 660.323.5272 or email at shelly_shipman@brashear.k12.mo.us

 

A+ SCHOOLS PROGRAM

 

Students in grades 9-12 that have not signed an agreement for the A+ Schools Program are encouraged to do so as soon as possible.  The student will need to see Mrs. Reeves in the Learning Center for an agreement which needs to be signed by the student and their parent(s). A brochure explaining the guidelines of the program will be given to the student with the agreement.  Please feel free to call or email me with any questions you might have at cheryl_reeves@brashear.k12.mo.us or 660.323.5272 ext. 15.
