Brassfield Weekly

Open House for Tracks 1, 2, and 3 is on Tuesday, July 19th at 5:30 pm or 6:15 pm. We’ve set two start times to hopefully make parking a little easier, as well as give teachers the opportunity to give a brief presentation before engaging in questions and conversation.  If you have multiple children, please feel free to visit one class at 5:30 and the other at 6:15.  If you have more than 2 kids at Brassfield, we understand if you're jumping between sessions ;)  Track 4, we’ll have a separate open house for you on Tuesday August 9th.

Our Brassfield Backpack Buddies program needs your help in providing food for our school community! North Raleigh Ministries generously supports our school during the traditional calendar year, but we need some extra help over the summer months. When you come to Open House, please bring a few food items to help fill our shelves!

WCPSS elementary school breakfast and lunch prices have increased by $.25 this year. Breakfast is now $1.25 and lunch is $2.25.  If you believe your family may qualify for free or reduced price lunches, you may pick up an application in our front office, or send in a note requesting that we send an application home with your child.

Applications for this year's Coding Club are now being accepted for Tracks 1, 2 and 3 from July 11- July 22.  Please see our blog, which is hosted on the Brassfield website under Student Activities at for more information.

Mr. Turley would like to let all Safety Patrol students and their families know that the schedule is now on our website under the Quick Links section on the right hand side of the main page.

The Brassfield WALKATHONS will be here before we know it! Walkathon is sponsored by the PTA, and is the primary fundraiser for the year. This year, all money collected above what is needed to sustain PTA operations will be dedicated to refreshing classroom technology. Tracks 1 & 3 should have received information in their Wednesday folders this week; their Walkathon will be on Friday, September 2nd. Tracks 2 & 4 will receive information packets in Wednesday folders on 8/10 and their Walkathon will be Friday, September 23rd.

Families, please be aware that due to a network upgrade, Brassfield will be without internet this coming Monday, July 18th. Therefore, will not be able to register volunteers, and staff will not be able to access email. We should be back up and running on Tuesday.

Speaking of volunteers - are you one of our regulars??? Please remember that volunteers must re-register each year! Registration can only be done at the school, so the next time you're here (other than Monday), pop in to the Learning Commons to get signed up for the 2016-2017 school year.
