Learning to read begins at home through everyday interactions with children, long before they attend school. Your continued support of literacy development as children enter elementary school and progress through the grades positively affects their reading ability. Brevard Public schools is pleased to provide these Family Activities with easy-to-follow instructions to help your child practice foundational reading skills:

Calling All Athletes!
Indialantic Neighbors Magazine is accepting submissions from parents, fans and coaches for all types and levels of sports to spotlight LOCAL athletes, teams and coaches in their monthly publication. If selected, the submission will appear on their sports website: BVMSports.com which will instantly generate buzz and have a positive impact on school and/or civic sports programs. It can also connect sports communities across the country. And it could help scouts and recruiters follow star athletes in your neighborhood! Please contact Nancy Cole. Content Coordinator, at ncole@bestversionmedia.com for more information.
Vote on Millage
Early voting has started and mail in ballots are on their way to homes now. Please participate in the General Election by November 8th.
There is a Millage on the ballot that, if approved, will increase teacher compensation, and pay for student programs and new technology in Brevard Schools.
The Millage will cost property owners $1 for every $1000 of assessed property value, minus the $25,000 homestead exemption for the next 4 years. (If your property is assessed at $300,000, then your property tax will increase $275 per year for the next 4 years.)
