March News

Brightmont Team • March 18, 2021

Spring is in the air! We're enrolling for summer and fall, graduating students, organizing physically distanced social events on campus, and making improvements to the interiors of our campus buildings.

Summer and Fall Scheduling

Enrollment for summer and the 2021-22 school year has begun! Contact the Campus Director to discuss enrolling your student. Schedule and teacher preferences are first-come, first-served.

The summer months are a great time to complete skill building curriculum or knock out a class or two that would make the 2021-22 school year a little easier

COVID-19 Protocols

We are appreciative of our families for cooperating with COVID-19 protocols this year. We certainly thank our students for coming into campus with their face covering on, hand sanitizing and maintaining distance. Teachers, staff, students and parents have complied with other specific protocols as well.

Due to our safety precautions during COVID-19, our campuses are currently open to scheduled students and teachers and appointments only. All other visitors need to call before coming in.

Campus Events and Photos

Students and teachers at our Redmond campus celebrated Pi day with a pizza lunch! Teachers at our Birmingham campus participated in a math competition.

March 17th was St. Patrick's Day with rainbows, shamrocks, lucky charms, pot of gold and a pinch of green! Students were invited to wear their favorite shade of green and they received special treats!

At our Scottsdale campus, we have re-started lunchtime activities. Recently, our students and staff enjoyed Spanish and French Bingo games, and a multi-day painting activity.

Our Mendota Heights and Plymouth campuses are celebrating Earth Day this spring by participating in the 12th Annual Neighborhood Forest free tree program, whose aim is to provide free trees to students every Earth Day.

Since 2010, Neighborhood Forest has reached over 60,000 families and planted over 30,000 (mostly urban and residential) trees through the hands of children and parents across North America.

We endorse this project and are excited to be participating in this wonderful program that teaches students stewardship through the magic and wonder of planting and watching trees grow.

Trees are being delivered to the school and we will arrange to get the trees in the hands of our students on or around Earth Day (April 22).

Campus Updates

The Chandler campus is expanding and we are so excited! Currently we have both of the end suites and we are now adding the middle suite to have the entire building. Once construction is completed, all three spaces will be connected on the inside, so students will not need to exit the building to get to their next class.
