Congratulations to our Specials Student of the month for December!
This month, all the students at Bryant Elementary school went above and beyond practicing the elements of RISE (Respect, Integrity, Students First and Excellence.) While many students could be nominated for the Specials Student of the Month, the specials teachers decided on the following students.
Keep up the great work Bulldogs!

With the arrival of colder weather, we want to remind all parents that children need to be dressed appropriately for the weather.
Appropriate cold weather gear
- Heavy coat
- Hat
- Gloves
- Boots
- Snow pants
Please make sure that all clothing is marked with the child's name. Children are also reminded to put shoes in their book bag to wear while at school.
Please help make sure your children are dressed for the varied weather conditions, so they can safely enjoy their outdoor time.



Happy Thanksgiving from ACSD!
