Please take a moment to read this important message from Director Florence.
During the January 2026 meeting, the School Board made a change to the calendar to close schools on May 5, thanks to the primary elections. You'll find a copy of the updated calendar attached, and more copies are available on the app and website for your convenience.

Once upon a lunchtime in the bustling culinary kingdom of Briarwood Elementary, the legendary Nutrition Team donned their emerald armor to prepare the day's feast. But these weren't just any green shirts!
Look closely, and you’ll see the benevolent ruler of the hallways, Principal Chad Wyatt, receiving the royal treatment. Sporting a crown fit for a (Burger) King and clutching a double-decker cheeseburger, Mr. Wyatt is keeping a watchful eye over the tater tots today!
We love a team that works hard, feeds our students with love, and knows exactly how to have a laugh. Thank you to our incredible cafeteria staff for serving up smiles—and to Mr. Wyatt for being such a good sport!
