Butterfly Ridge Elementary School

Have you thought about your family’s routines for the start of the school year?

Simple routines can make a big difference in helping students feel prepared, confident, and ready to learn each day. Laying out clothes the night before, packing backpacks, checking the school schedule, and building a consistent bedtime routine can all help make mornings smoother.

A little preparation now can lead to big success all year long!

📣 This is a big week at BRES! Our latest Community Newsletter includes final details for Kindergarten Back-to-School Night on August 11 from 5:00–6:00 PM and the BRES Block Party on August 13 from 4:00–6:00 PM.
