Hello Briar Hill Families

As we head into the last 6 weeks with students, there are so many things that we face. The weather is nice, students are excited, many of them have entered spring activities (sports, arts) and bedtimes have changed – also, it is now light outside until well after 9:00pm which is great and also different. May and June can be challenging with all of these changes, and we know that this time of year can become stressful for students on top of it all as they begin to anticipate the end of the year and the changes that summer will bring. We appreciate all the work you are doing to help students navigate these days. As a staff, we may all have different roles and titles, but we are all together in the role of teacher when it comes to the kids – Thank you all for all you do!

With Gratitude,

Nathan deBoer

Principal
