Grandparents- Are you a grandparent of a Brainerd Baptist School alumnus with a current student enrolled? If so, we’d love to know! Please email Ellen Watson at ewatson@brainerdbaptist.org with the student’s name(s) along with the name of the alumni family member. We would love to have this information by September 5th.
Vision Screenings - On Friday, September 12th, Dr. Troy White will conduct vision screenings for students in K2–5th grade (with parent permission). A permission form was sent home in Tuesday folders this week and must be signed for your child to participate. The quick, child-friendly screening helps detect common vision issues that may affect learning. Results will show either “Pass” or “Refer,” with a “Refer” meaning your child should have a full eye exam.
Children’s Advocacy Center
The Children's Advocacy Center will be on campus September 9th-10th teaching our K3-5th grade students the importance of safety rules, boundaries, identifying a safe adult, and how to act in unsafe situations.

The neuroBridge model allows for collaboration among therapists, teachers, parents and administrators ensuring a child's success in the classroom and at home.
neuroBridge Occupational Therapists will be at Brainerd Baptist to complete Developmental Screenings the week of September 15, 2025. The purpose of the Developmental screening is to see if your child’s skills are developing as expected in comparison to same-aged peers. A neuroBridge OT will determine if your child needs further testing based on the results of the screening tool. The cost of each screening is $20.00. If you are interested, please complete the neuroBridge form.
