Report Cards

From the Principal

 
 
Parents, Guardians, Staff, and Brennen Community,
Please know we will continue to keep our school safe. We  have our security wall up in the front foyer of the school. We are implementing new procedures in signing students in late as well as a new and hopefully better change in car riders in the afternoon with the addition of parents, guardians, and care givers receiving car rider hang tags. This will help speed up our process of student pick up in the afternoons. 
When you need to enter the building, you need to press the green button so that the office staff can identify you.  Then you may enter and received a visitor's pass.
We look forward to more days of great teaching and wonderful learning at Brennen Elementary School!
I look forward to seeing you around campus.
  
 See you around campus, and remember; "Bulldogs Are The BEST!
