Director's Note, August 19th: Welcome Back!
We are so eager to welcome you to the beginning of school year 2019-2020! This is the first Director’s note of the year. In these bi-weekly messages, you’ll find important information about upcoming events, news from our classrooms about curriculum, and updates from our Board of Directors. I will keep these messages as succinct as possible with information that is important, timely, and relevant. Please make it a habit of reading these notes thoroughly as they will provide important dates and information for you to be actively engaged in our community and your child’s education!
When you return to campus, you’ll find some new upgrades to our school including two new Hydration Stations, two new murals that brighten up our building (thank you Cara Stephens and Sara Milano!), a new location for our hybrid homeschool, two new promethean boards, and a comprehensive upgraded security system. Many of these updates were made possible through your generous donations last school year. 💗💗💗
Further, our teaching staff has been working together this past week to design new project based units for implementing in the first three months of the school year.
As we move into our 10th year of operation, school at Bridges Charter has never been better!

We only have one or two spots open in each week, so if you’re on the fence about registration, do it soon! Registration is open here: https://www.parentsquare.com/feeds/1493383

I hope you were able to catch one of the fantastic performances of Aladdin Jr. over the weekend that was sponsored by our Performing Arts Parent Committee and that featured performances by more than 60 Bridges students. It was a spectacular show that was professionally executed with amazing costumes, sets, choreography, songs, and performances. Well done to all the parents and students involved!
