Dear Parents, Spring is here and that means testing is not far off! Here at Brinton our first priority is that stu-dents know, understand and are able to demon-strate all of their grade level standards. Teach-ers and students are working hard to prepare for the assessments in March, April and May. We are excited to see the growth they have made during this school year! Students in 3rd through 6th grades will be taking the AzM2 test beginning on March 30th. Our 4th grade students will also be taking the AIMS test in Science on April 3rd. Our younger students, kindergarten to 2nd
grade will be taking dis-trict assessments to measure their growth in reading and math also in April. Keep an eye out for the Brinton Newsletter and grade level flyers for more information on testing dates and times for your student. For more information on AzM2 go to: https://www.azed.gov/assessment/azm2/ Thank you for entrusting your child’s education with the teachers and staff here at Brinton. Have a great month!

Brinton’s Drama Club, with a cast of many students, demonstrated their art of storytelling by putting on our
annual play three times on February 20th. The student’s ability of making us laugh through their voice and
movements has shown that these students are budding actors and actresses in the making. Many thanks to
Mrs. Calise, Ms. Pena, Ms. Chavez and Mrs. Maxwell for all the hard work they have done with these talent-
ed students and to Mr. Wheaton for making props for the show.

January's Student of the Month
If your student is at Brinton on a boundary
exception and you would like for him or her
to continue with us next school year, be sure
to complete a new Boundary Exception Form
and return it to the office at your earliest con-
venience. We are required to have a new
request on file for each child for each school
year. As we start working on class place-
ments for next year, it will be very helpful for
us to know which students will not be return-
ing to Brinton.
5th Grade Wax Museum
5th grades annual Wax Museum was a hit once again with many wonderful enactments of famous people
from the past. Many students rehearsed their parts and dressed in character which made a lasting impres-
sion for the audience. Lots of work went into their reports and for many, their extra work really showed.
As we approach spring time in the valley of the sun,
don't forget how important it is to stay hydrated. As
children are outside playing they lose moisture that
needs to be replaced. On another note...we have
seen quite a bit of illness lately so here is a good re-
minder------ The
number one way
to keep sickness
at bay is through
good hand wash-
ing. Here is what
we teach at
school.

AzM2 Testing
Mesa Unified School District #4 • Operations Department
555 South Lewis Street, Mesa, AZ 85210
Date: February 2020
To: Parents, Guardians and Employees of Mesa Unified School District #4
From: Keith Bonkoski – Maintenance Supervisor/Asbestos Coordinator
Subject: Asbestos Awareness and Management Plan
The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) requires all private and public
elementary and secondary schools to inspect for asbestos containing materials in school
buildings. The AHERA protocol also states that the Local Education Agency (LEA) perform a
three-year inspection, and every six months a site surveillance inspection, and to provide
notification to all parties concerned of any changes or updates. Parent and employee
notifications must be made on a yearly basis. During the school year there may be asbestos
removed from this site if a response action is required or if there are renovations.
The Mesa Public Schools Management Plans are available for review at the Operations Building
located at 555 South Lewis Street in Mesa. Your site specific Management Plan is located at
each school/site Administration Office.
Although some material containing asbestos might be found at your site, it presents no health
hazard to students or staff. This material is inspected every six months, as stated.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact me at 480-472- 6014.
Thank you,
Keith Bonkoski

Asunto: Conocimiento de Asbestos y Plan de Gestión
La Ley de Respuesta a una Emergencia de Asbestos (AHERA-por sus siglas en inglés, Asbestos
Hazard Emergency Reponse Act), requiere que todas las escuelas privadas y públicas de primaria
y secundaria sean inspeccionadas por materiales conteniendo asbestos en los edificios escolares y
de entregar un informe (plan de gestión), al Estado de Arizona. El protocolo AHERA también
establece que la Agencia Local de Educación, (LEA-por sus siglas en inglés, Local Education
Agency), ejecute una inspección de tres años y cada seis meses una inspección de vigilancia en el
lugar y notificar a todas las partes interesadas de cualquier cambio o actualización. Los avisos a
los padres y empleados deben llevarse acabo anualmente. Durante el año escolar puede que
ocurra una eliminación de asbestos de esta localidad si se requiere una acción de respuesta y/o
remodelación.
Los Planes de Gestión de las Escuelas Públicas de Mesa están disponibles para su revisión en el
edificio de Operaciones localizado en 555 South Lewis St., Mesa, AZ. 85210. Su Plan de
Gestión específico está ubicado en la oficina administrativa de cada escuela.
Aun cuando algún material conteniendo cantidades pequeñas de asbestos puede ser identificado
en su instalación, esto no representa riesgo alguno para la salud del personal o los alumnos.
Estos materiales son inspeccionados cada seis meses como se ha estipulado.
Si tiene alguna pregunta respecto a esto, por favor llámeme al 480-472- 6014.
Gracias,
