– To all students at the cafeteria during lunch time: Please bring their lunch boxes with them when heading to lunch. This helps avoid delays and keeps things organized.
–  Parents and guardians delivering lunch are kindly asked to drop it off before 12:30 PM so we can distribute it smoothly and on time.
– Please do not leave your PE bags or large items at the guardhouse, as space is limited. Please use your lockers

Thank you for helping us keep things running efficiently and safely!

Wishing everyone a meaningful and joyful week as we count down to Brent Day—celebrating 116 years of legacy with joy, gratitude, and unity. Thank you for all that you do to make this community so special.

Warmly,

—
