Each spring, we ask our parents and community members to complete a yearly survey, which provides data to help us track progress in meeting our Strategic Plan goals. Parents, check your email for a link to your survey. We would love to hear from our community members. We sincerely value your input and would appreciate your feedback. We use the information to guide decisions so we can continue to provide the very best education for our Bryant students. Click here ⇒ https://bit.ly/AnnualCommunitySurvey2023

Congratulations to ALL NINE concert ensembles on their SUPERIOR RATINGS at the Region Concert Assessment. ALL NINE qualify for a SWEEPSTAKES TROPHY!

Thank you to all the Bryant Band Directors (Keith Matthews, Jay Chipman, Stewart Wright, Jessica Chipman, James Pianalto, Whitney Smith, Jennifer Townsend, Rachel Moore, and Matt Simpson) for their dedication and hard work to our band program. Without you, none of this would be possible for our Hornets! #BryantProud #RegionAssessment
