  • Calls made after 2:30 to change a child’s way home may possibly not get to the child, so please notify in advance.


Lunch

Children may bring their lunch from home or they may buy a lunch at school. If buying lunch, money should be placed in the child’s lunch account during registration prior to the start of school or may be sent to school with the child at any time during the year.


School Start Time

Children should be in their classrooms as close to 7:30 AM as possible to allow them time to acclimate and get comfortable before the day begins. The Gym opens its doors at 7:00 am. The students are supervised in the Gym until 7:30 when they are dismissed to their classrooms. Parents are not allowed to walk their children to class after the first week of school. The front doors of the school open at 7:30 am. The school day is 7:45 AM to 2:45 PM. Children are counted tardy after 7:45 AM. Please refer to your copy of the truancy guidelines as outlined by PISD and the state.

At this time, Brinker does not offer a breakfast program.


Sick Child

If a child is sick, it is imperative that the caregivers call the school Childsafe Line at (469) 752-0500 and dial 3 to leave the child’s name, grade, teacher, and reason for absence on the voice mail. When an absent child returns to school, they should bring a note explaining their absence.
