A Message From the Principal

Dear Parents and Guardians,
We’re off to a wonderful start here at Bruneau Elementary School! It has been such a joy to welcome students back into the classrooms and see their enthusiasm for learning. Over these first few weeks, our students have been showing great effort, positive attitudes, and a strong sense of
community as they settle into routines and begin their academic journey for the year.
As part of our efforts to support student learning, all students have recently taken a baseline assessment in both reading and math. These assessments help us gauge where each student is academically after the summer break and allow us to tailor instruction to best meet their individual needs. We are excited to use this information to guide teaching and help every student
grow and succeed.
Were also happy to share that our food service program, including the grab-and-go breakfast and lunch options, has been a great success so far! It’s wonderful to see students starting their day with a nutritious meal and fueling their learning throughout the day.
As always, we encourage open communication between home and school. If you have any questions, concerns, or simply want to check in on your child’s progress, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the school office or your child’s teacher. We value your partnership and support in
making this a great year for every student.
Thank you for your continued trust and involvement in your child’s education. We look forward to a fantastic school year ahead!

Jeff Blaser

Elementary Principal
