Letter from our Principal Ms. Neill:
Greetings Briar Vista Families and Friends,
Thank you to our parents who were able to attend in person or virtually to our Title I Curriculum Night on August 23rd. We hope you will be engaged and working with our school during your journey at Briar Vista. Our teachers and staff members did an excellent job sharing their classroom goals and how to best serve children. Your participation is vital to the success of your child's educational pathway. We appreciate you!!!
Congratulations to our Employees of the Year:
- Teacher of the Year: Danielle Manley, Art Teacher
- Employee of the Year I: Marian Chinn, Registrar
- Employee of the Year II: Diana Johnston, Social Worker
PTO will be opening times for parents to sign up for Carpool with Friends twice a month to help with traffic and getting students into the building safely. Please take time to sign up and enjoy time with fellow Briar Vista Parents. Parents, please try to have your children on time to school, 7:46 am is considered tardy. If your child is tardy, you will need to exit your car and sign them in. Children can enter the building at 7:00 am. Traffic in our area can be very challenging at times.
Have a wonderful weekend! If you would like to contact me, feel free to email me at cammie_neill@dekalbschoolsga.org
Together We SOAR!!!
