Dear Brent Community,
 
The first day of school is just hours away and we have been busy with the last details of classroom set up, construction clean up, and the thoughtful planning needed to ensure our students have a safe and joyous launch to their year!
 
We also want to make sure you are informed about the details of the day and this letter aims to provide you with all the information you need. Even if you are a returning Brent Bear, please review these notes as some procedures have changed or are new this year.

Welcome to the 2018-2019 school year at Brent Elementary!
We are so excited to welcome K -5th grade students back on Monday, August 20.  Preschool and prekindergarten have a staggered start – students with last names beginning with A –L begin on Thursday, August 23 and students with last names beginning with M – A begin on Friday, August 24.
A back to school packet should be arriving shortly in the mail. The contents of the packets are listed below.  If you have any questions or need additional information, please reach out to Denise Diggs at denise.diggs @dc.gov or at 202-698-3363.
