Senior Awards Ceremony |
A group of Bryant students were celebrated today with a Taco bar as a part of our Here-O incentive program.
Greetings Bryant Families!
What a great second week of the new year! Our students have been hard at work preparing for SOLs and completing WorkKeys assessments. Students also had the opportunity to take a big step toward their future by completing their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) forms during a workshop offered during our advisory period.
To ensure every student can take full advantage of the many opportunities ahead, attendance is key. As part of our school-wide goal to reduce absenteeism, we offer various supports and incentives for students to encourage them to attend school, on time every day. Every students’ presence at Bryant matters and we value your partnership in encouraging these habits at home!
If your student does miss school due to illness, please remember our Catch-Up Club is available. It’s a great after-school resource where students can get one-on-one help with their work and take assessments. We encourage our students to take advantage of this extra support!
Take Care!

Highlighting our Community Partnerships
Bryant is proud to have several business and non-profit partnerships. Throughout the year our students work on a community service project for Choice Respect Integrity (Cri) CRi - Disability and Mental Health. The community service project is dedicated to providing personalized resources to people with mental health needs and/or developmental disabilities. We are grateful for this partnership - not only do the recipients receive a hand-crafted positive message, our students learn the importance of supporting others.

When Should Your Child Stay Home?
Help your student succeed in school by encouraging them to miss as few days as possible. However, do make sure your student stays home if they are sick. Visit the FCPS website for helpful insights regarding absences and how to work with your child and our school to minimize impacts on learning.
If your child has a chronic illness, make sure to let us know so we can provide assistance, if needed.
Enhancing Safety and Security for Staff and Students
School safety and security are being enhanced across FCPS with a new emergency management system. The system includes sensors installed in schools and a wearable emergency response button (ERB) for staff.
The button allows staff to quickly and discreetly request help and, once pressed, they provide location information within the school. The ERB will only work on school grounds and does not rely on cellular service. It is not meant to replace calling 911, but is an additional safety tool that can be used if calling 911 may not be safe or practical.
Learn more about the emergency management system. You may submit questions to the FCPS Chief of Safety and Security Office.
