It is based on a win-win approach to parenting that teaches young people how to be responsible, and parents how to establish healthy controls.

Reminders for the Week of August 21st

Good evening Byrd Family!

 

Welcome to the 2017-2018 school year!  We hope you had a wonderful summer, and we cannot wait to see our students tomorrow.  Our faculty and staff have been busy these last few weeks preparing for a fabulous school year, and we are eagerly awaiting the start of school tomorrow.  For families new to Byrd, each week you will receive a phone and/or email message with important reminders for the week.  Please make sure our office has your most up to date contact information.  You can also find up-to-date information on our school website.  If you are a twitter user, then you can also follow us using the handle @EaglesBes.

 

We are thankful that the Goochland Education Foundation has provided safety glasses for students to watch the solar eclipse while at school tomorrow.  If your child’s class is participating in this activity, then the school must have a guardian’s permission on file.  Please visit the GCPS website or our school website to complete the electronic permission slip.  If you have already given your permission, then there is no need to do it again.

 

Finally, if your student participated in the Goochland Library Summer Reading Program, then please remember to bring your certificate of completion into the  school library.  This will ensure your student gets the prize bag that will include free tickets to Field Day of the Past.

 

We are looking forward to kicking off another exceptional year of student learning and growth tomorrow.  Thank you for reading, and have a great week!
