Week of September 15–20, 2025

Dear Brent Community,

Thank you for the energy and support during the past week’s assemblies, pep rally practices, and induction events. We are grateful for the commitment of our students, parents, and faculty as we continue to build spirit and leadership across our community.

Highlights from This Week (Sept. 8–13)

  • End of Fall MAP Testing 2025 – Thank you parents and students for all your hard work and support. MAP results will officially be released with midsemester reports.

  • Lower School Highlights

This week marked the exciting start of the LS Production with an acting workshop kick-off — a wonderful way for our young performers to begin their journey on stage.

We also held our Student Conduct Slip orientation, re-establishing its role in the Lower School as a tool to pause, reflect, and reset. The Student Conduct Slip supports our students in developing a growth mindset — reminding them that every mistake is a chance to learn and grow.

Acts of support like this truly reflect our Brent Crest values of loyalty, camaraderie, and community spirit.
