We need all families to complete the Education Benefits form. Doing this will secure important resources such as staff, curriculum, and mental health support for our students. In fact, we risk losing over $1.6 million in funding if these forms are not filled out. Families, please fill out the form by October 7. The form can be found here and takes 5 minutes to complete: https://brandywine.familyportal.cloud/
There will be a Board Meeting Tonight at 6 p.m. at Brandywine Elementary.
Students in Mr. McLaughlin's 3D Design class are working on their first sculpture project! Students were tasked with creating a sculpture that combined five abstract shapes.
In honor of Patriot Day on Friday, our third-grade hallway got a major red, white, and blue makeover! Students showed off their patriotic pride by decorating their lockers, while Mrs. Alstott’s class worked together to create an incredible American flag puzzle.
Just a reminder that the Niles Charter Township Boil Water Advisory is still in effect and the district will continue to follow the safety procedures put in place. You can help by sending your child to school with a clean water bottle. If you would like to donate bottled water or hand sanitizer to the district, please contact your school building directly.

This week is NWEA testing for students in kindergarten through tenth grade!
NWEA testing is used to measure student growth in math, reading, language, and science in a given school year. Students take it at the beginning of the year and then retake it later on to see where their skills are.
Here are some growth highlights from last year's testing:
-District-wide (grades K-10): 59% of students met their Math growth goal
-58% of students met their growth goal in Reading
-70% of Merritt students met their Math goal
-64% of middle school students met their Math goal
-65% of middle school students met their Reading goal
