It's National Assistant Principals Week!
Bryant’s assistant principals perform many roles in our schools: handling student attendance, talking with parents about the well-being of their child, planning school improvement activities, evaluating teachers and analyzing data. What they do is critical to the success of our students and district.
To all our Assistant Principals, we thank you for your service and leadership.
Don't miss Bryant Theatre Company's spring production, Matilda the Musical. Lighting, sound, costumes, wigs/hair/make-up, set design, visual effects, props, etc. are all designed and executed by our talented BHS students.
Evening performances are April 4, 5, and 6 at 7pm with a 2pm Matinee performance on April 6 at the Bryant Fine Arts Center. Tickets available at https://our.show/btcmatilda.
We're ONE WEEK out from the total solar eclipse! Our friends in Saline County have shared some tips for preparing ahead of this weekend. They're expecting a large influx of people to our area since we are in the path of totality. 🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔 #EclipseSaline
Two of Bryant’s Computer Science teachers will be participating in a statewide eclipse project! Alana McGinness (BJHS) and Brenda Qualls (BHS) built a device and coded it to collect light and temperature data during the eclipse. You can read more about the project and how it will be used in the classrooms here: https://www.bryantschools.org/article/1529854
Prepare for the upcoming eclipse on April 8th by planning ahead! Here are some tips from Saline County to our community:
🌖 Schedule your errands and appointments early. We know it's tempting to get things done on a day off of school, but it may be difficult to navigate extra traffic.
🌗 Establish a communication plan with your family and friends. Too many phones in the area can lead to poor signal.
🌘 Keep cash on hand in case there are internet issues in stores or restaurants.
🌑 Stock up on essential groceries and fill up your gas tank ahead of time.
