Physical safety is important, but so is emotional safety. To feel emotionally safe, students need supportive relationships, the key to better learning experiences for all students. That’s why we place such importance on the processes of Capturing Kids’ Hearts. From door greetings, to sharing Good Things, to social contracts, we value creating positive learning environments. #CKH


Fall days mean less daylight in the mornings and evenings, conditions which can limit visibility for bus drivers. Please review these reminders to increase safety at all bus stops. #SafeHornets #National SchoolBusSafetyWeek

AMERICA'S SAFE SCHOOLS WEEK
Safety is a priority at Bryant Public Schools. Thanks to our partnership with the City of Bryant, eight School Resource Officers are part of our security team. Over the last few years, the Bryant School Board has allocated resources to ensure there is an armed presence on every school campus by adding nine Commissioned School Security Officers. #SafeHornets


October is #NationalPrincipalsMonth. All month long, we’re celebrating our amazing principals at each of our schools.
Salem principal Donaven Sims has led the school for six years. He loves building relationships with his students, their families, and the Salem Tigers faculty/staff. He says, “Relationships are the most important part of my job.”
FUN FACT:
Mr. Sims has 2 goats (Goose & Maverick), 20 chickens (he can't name them all), a turkey (Tom), and a duck named Bob.
Thank you, Mr. Sims, for creating opportunities for success at Salem Elementary! #BryantProud #ThankAPrincipal
