The countdown to February Graduation is live on our Bryant HS Graduation Website!
Be sure to check the website throughout the school year for the most up-to-date graduation. Our February graduation is scheduled for Thursday, February 11 at 11:00 am. Our June graduation is scheduled for Wednesday, June 2 at 5:00 pm.
Greetings Bryant Families!
We are officially halfway through the first quarter, and I am so proud of how engaged and focused our students have been!
As we build on this positive momentum, keeping up daily attendance remains one of our top priorities. Research shows that students who attend school every day, or miss no more than one day a month, are significantly more likely to graduate. To encourage great habits, we are launching another Attendance Challenge! Any student who achieves perfect attendance from September 25 through October 9, will earn an invitation to a Pizza Party on Tuesday, October 13. Please help us reinforce the message at home: your child's presence matters every single day!
Speaking of graduation, the finish line will be here before we know it! To help our Senior families stay informed, we have launched a dedicated Bryant Graduation Information landing page with key dates, requirements, and event updates. Our first Senior activity will be a Senior Class Meeting and breakfast on Tuesday, September 29. Please check the website frequently as we prepare to celebrate our Seniors in both February and June.
Last week, our School Counseling team spent time with students delivering an interactive lesson on graduation requirements and campus resources. Using a Jeopardy-style game, counselors helped students map out the credits they need to graduate and introduced them to the key staff members here to support them along the way.
Finally, looking ahead to Friday, October 2, all teachers will be emailing interim progress reports. Please take a moment to review these updates with your child to see how they are progressing this quarter. As a reminder, you can monitor grades, attendance, and assignments anytime by logging into ParentVue.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support!
Take Care!

Review and Sign SR&R by September 30
The FCPS Student Rights and Responsibilities (SR&R) booklet explains expectations for student behavior and adult responses to enhance school safety and to create a fair, equitable, and supportive school environment. We encourage families to discuss these expectations with their child(ren).
Families should review the SR&R and sign the acknowledgement form by Wednesday, September 30, either by logging into SIS ParentVUE or by signing and returning the Signature Sheet.
Cellphones and Personal Devices
Students may only use a personal device if it is required as part of a necessary accommodation in the student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) or Section 504 Plan. A principal or the principal’s designee may approve a limited, course-specific exception for students enrolled in a specialized class when the curriculum requires a technology tool or software that isn’t available on a standard FCPS-issued device. Learn more on the FCPS website.
Understanding the Acceptable Use Policy
FCPS provides students with digital tools and devices to support their learning, encourage easy collaboration, and help students learn how to interact with technology safely. The FCPS Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) guides how these technologies are used both inside the classroom and at home. By following the AUP, students learn how to become not just users of technology, but responsible and ethical digital citizens with critical real-world skills such as:
-
Responsible Communication and Conduct: Communicating respectfully and using technology appropriately.
-
Digital Footprint Awareness: Understanding online actions can have lasting effects on a student’s reputation, future opportunities and relationships, career prospects, and safety.
-
Data Privacy and Security: Learning how online safety can protect their digital work and personal information, and guard against cybersecurity risks.
-
Self-Regulation: Learning to manage digital distractions to stay focused when needed.
-
Accountability: Understanding that they are responsible for how they use FCPS technology and digital resources.
Learn more about digital citizenship at FCPS.
