End of School Year Thank You to All our BRES Families!

Dear BRES parents,

It has been a whirlwind inaugural year at Bayard Rustin Elementary School. We appreciate all the support from families and parent volunteers in supporting the PTA and school in launching our new school!

We wish you all a wonderful and relaxing summer!

Just a few final end-of-year updates:

After-school activities: Thank you all who have responded to the after school activities survey. We are collating responses and will see how the PTA board can facilitate activities of interest for next year.

  • If you have any questions or additional suggestions, please email us at info@brespta.org


Petition to Restore 1 FTE World Language Chinese Instructor: If you have not yet responded to our online petition to ask MCPS and Board of Education to support restoring a full World Language instructor, instead of cutting the staff allocation in half, please do so soon!

  • Sign our online petition to restore the World Language instructor to 1 FTE

  • We will continue to share updates via email on this issue.

  • We still have an opening on the board for a MCC-PTA delegate. As you can see, it is important for us to keep abreast of MCPS developments and advocate for our children's needs.

Best wishes from the 2018-2019 BRES PTA Board
