With the extra "BONUS" week, the PTA has planned an hour and a half "party on the playground" for the students to sign yearbooks.  If you are available to come help out that would be great!  We will have bubbles, music, chalk, fancy pens for signing, etc.  Teachers will be present with their students, but all extra adults help make these events fun and safe for all. If you would like to volunteer, you can sign up HERE!

The Briarwood Bears get a bonus recess for yearbook signing this Friday! This will also be the final Smencil sale of the year. Please send your students with money if you would like them to purchase Smencils. Each Smencil is $1.00. The proceeds of sales go to help fund: enriching activities, grants, etc. Please note: There is a $5.00 limit per student. 

The last day of school will be on Tuesday, June 24th! This will be a full day of school. Due to weather challenges in November and February, our school year has been extended. Please see the most updated ISD calendar HERE!

Summer Break will be June 25th through August 27th. There will be no regular school during this time.

Please Note: Email for the PTA email account will be monitored periodically, but response times will vary over Summer Break! Thank you for your understanding!
