Provided are two links to my letter regarding the Restart and Reopening plan for Dawson-Bryant Local Schools as well as our plan.  Thank you for your continued support and positivity as we strive to do what is best for ALL students and employees during these challenging times.  Serving you, Steve Easterling, Superintendent

 

 
KNOW! To Continue the Conversation on Racism
Conversations on race and racism are not necessarily easy or comfortable, but they are imperative. To have informed, constructive conversations with our children on this subject, we must first lay the foundation. We can do so by discussing some key terms with them, as shared in the previous Know! Tip. While some of the words and definitions may seem basic, it is important children (and adults) understand the differences between them. It is also necessary to catch up on some of the new, more complex terms being used, and share those with our young people as well. If you would like, take a moment now and review the previous tip, Know! To Define Racial Terms for Teens, which has a glossary of terms you’ll want to know. The conversation certainly should not end with definitions. It is imperative to keep talking. If you’re at a loss for words, we can help. Here are some things to consider incorporating into your ongoing conversations on this topic with your children.

Dawson-Bryant Middle School Key Club image Dawson-Bryant Middle School Key Club

The Dawson-Bryant Middle School has recently begun the process of building a community service club, known as the Key Club. The club is built upon young students looking to make a positive impact on their community. The Key Club’s purpose is to give students an opportunity to show acts of kindness and an opportunity to give back to their community. Recently, before Thanksgiving break, the students took advantage of the nice weather to clean up around the school. The students were able to accomplish a lot of cleaning in such a short amount of time because they worked together! The students had a good time doing this clean up, and I’m excited to see what other great things they will do in the future. Thank you to all the students who participated in the clean-up! – Miss Edwards
