Hello Brywood Families,
I hope you all continue to enjoy this beautiful summer! As we move into the month of August, this summer edition of the Brywood Briefing includes updates and important information for your planning. With the school year officially starting in just a few weeks on Tuesday, August 19th, I ask that you please take a few minutes to review the highlights below.
Please know that additional information will be emailed to you as we get closer to the start of the school year. Our front office will reopen on Monday, August 11th, should you need additional support or have any questions.
With Gratitude,
