Don't Miss Out on Summer Madness Deals🏠









Dear Parents/ carers, Re: Science GCSE Preparation Please find below the details of the imminent Science exams, as well as the revision sessions on offer. It is essential that your son/daughter is fully prepared for these exams so please encourage them to take up all revision opportunities. The exam dates and times: Core Biology- Tuesday 16 May, 1pm Core Chemistry- Thursday 18 May, 9am Core Physics- Wednesday 24 May, 1pm Additional Biology & Biology Unit 3- Friday 9 June, 9am Additional Chemistry & Chemistry Unit 3- Wednesday 14 June, 9am Additional Physics and Physics Unit 3- Friday 16 June, 9am. (Please note, unit 3 exams are only applicable to those studying Triple science) Revision sessions: 'Evening revision sessions' from 6pm – 8:30pm. This will take place the evening before each exam. These revision sessions are not compulsory, however we will provide a quiet room, where I will be present to help guide your son/daughter's revision. We advise that your son/daughter goes home first for dinner and then returns with their own revision resources or topics they need to prioritise. Period 5 on Wednesdays and Thursdays will still take place from 3:15 pm – 4:15 pm. Email any questions to Mrs Viney/ Follow the Science Instagram Account. Mrs Viney will be running a 'revision helpline' through her email: sviney@glenmoorandwinton.org.uk. If your son/daughter has any questions or concerns whilst revising independently they can email her between 6pm – 8:30 pm, the evening before each exam. Students can also follow the Science department's Instagram account. During the build up to the examinations key diagrams and facts will be uploaded onto the profile for students to revise from. To protect your son/daughter's privacy we will not follow them back or look on their profiles. Username: gwsciencedept. On behalf of the Brentwood School District, it is our pleasure to welcome you to the start of the 2017-2018 school year. We hope your summer was enjoyable; however, we are sure both parents and students alike are eager to begin a new school year. The weeks leading up to September are always an exciting time, as they march us into the beginning of the school year. During those weeks, and throughout the summer, our faculty and staff have worked diligently to prepare each classroom and building to receive the roughly 20,000 students who will pass through our doors. We are driven to make this school year a phenomenal one by providing an exceptional level of leadership combined with a comprehensive educational strategy that aims to exceed the needs of our students. We have added a number of new teachers to our present roster of excellent educators, we welcomed a new Assistant Superintendent for Elementary Education & Personnel and appointed several new administrators. We have hired two Clinical Nurse Practitioners to assist our current nursing staff distribute health services to our students and are in the process of opening a new self-contained bilingual classroom at the elementary level to improve services to our Special Education population. We continue to renovate the high school's television studio, its infrastructure and technology so that our students have access to the latest multimedia hardware and software systems. We are implementing traffic remediation at the Freshmen Center and Southwest Elementary School to alleviate parking congestion. Additionally, we will be launching a school bus monitoring application called "Here Comes the Bus" that will allow both parents and students to receive notifications of bus arrival for pickups, drop offs, and bus status updates during emergencies. Throughout this school year, our collective aim will be to develop students who are college and career ready. Our community requires it, and our students deserve it along with the opportunities for them to succeed. As such, we will continue to maintain high expectations for our District and will work jointly to build strong and effective partnerships with our administrative team, teachers, support staff, parents, students, and community. Furthermore, we ask for your continued support as your children navigate the educational process. Our schools are built on the principle of collaborative effort and inclusivity; to that end, your participation is critical to your child's success. We encourage you to attend as many Board and PTA meetings as possible so that you are fully engaged in your child's learning experience. Lastly, in efforts to digitize services to you, we ask that you check the District's web site each marking period on the parent and student portal to access both your children's high school and middle school progress reports and report cards. We wish you all the best for the upcoming school year. Sincerely, Robert Feliciano Richard Loeschner President, Brentwood Board of Education Superintendent of Schools
