💙💡We’re really looking forward to tomorrow 💡💙

Our 5th Annual Autism Event, “Light It Up Blue,” is one of those days that truly reflects who we are as a community. It’s about showing up for our students and families, spending time together, and creating a space where everyone feels seen and supported!

We’ll have games, crafts, storytelling, snacks, and opportunities to connect throughout the day.

The event is free to attend, with some items and activities available for purchase.

If you’re free, come spend a little time with us. Throw on something blue and stop by - We would really love to see you there! Check out the event details below!

We are SO PROUD of our students and the amazing BACS Grocery Store!

Students at Brighten Academy aren't just learning—they're leading.

🛒 The Brighten Academy Charter School celebrated the grand opening of the BACS Grocery Store yesterday! This student-led initiative is proof that young people can make a real difference in their community. Our team was honored to celebrate this moment with such an inspiring school community.

Yesterday’s Donuts with a Grown-Up event couldn’t have been sweeter! 🍩
Our students shared sweet treats with the people who matter most to them during lunch, creating lots of smiles and special moments around the table.

This event would not have been possible without the amazing team at the Douglasville Highway 5 Store #302835. A special thank you to store manager Bre for generously donating 10 dozen donuts to help make this day so special for our students and their families.

The Brighten Academy crew is incredibly grateful for your partnership and support of our school community. We cannot wait to do it again!

Greetings Brighten Crew,

Due to severe winter weather approaching our area, school will be closed on Monday, January 26, 2026. All extracurricular and athletic events are also canceled on Monday. No school for students or staff.

The decision to close the school district on Monday comes after days of careful consideration of National Weather Service (NWS) reports and guidance from Governor Brian Kemp’s current statewide State of Emergency.

To stay informed of updates, we encourage families to follow our Facebook and Instagram pages, check dcssga.org for the latest information, and verify that your contact details are up to date in Infinite Campus.

We will continue to monitor weather conditions throughout the weekend and will communicate any changes through these official notification channels.

Expect another update by 6:00 p.m. on Monday, January 26, 2026, regarding the status of Tuesday, January 27, 2026. At that time, we will announce any additional changes to Tuesday’s schedule, as well as any needed adjustments to after-school activities or athletic events.

Thank you for your continued flexibility and understanding as we prioritize both safety during this severe weather event.

Board Social is TONIGHT!
5:00–7:30 PM • Douglas County Chamber (6658 Church St, Douglasville)
Brighten’s Governing Board is growing and we need general board members—not just folks seeking officer titles. If you want to serve, listen, and lead with our “Anchored in Excellence” crew, pull up tonight.

Yes, the weather’s doing the most—but your voice matters and we need the support.
⚠️ Heads up: If turnout is low tonight, this may be the only session—we may cancel the later socials!
👉 Come meet the Board, learn the work, and get involved.
RSVP via the QR on the flyer / link in bio. Bring a friend. 💙❤️💛

Brighten’s First Homecoming is Here!
We are so excited to celebrate Brighten Academy’s very first Homecoming! Students in grades 6–8 may pick up Homecoming Court applications beginning October 24th from Mrs. Clowers (Room 304) or Mrs. Deakin (Room 316). Campaigning will take place October 31st–November 7th, followed by student voting on November 10th–11th.

Students in grades 6–8 will vote for Mr. & Miss of their own grade level, while the entire school will vote for Mr. & Miss Brighten Academy. The celebration will culminate with our Homecoming Coronation on November 19th, featuring the presenting of Mr. & Miss 6th–8th grade and the announcing of Mr. & Miss Brighten Academy!

Homecoming Spirit Week will run November 17–21, with themed days to be announced next week, so get ready to show your Phoenix Pride!

Encourage your student to join in this historic Brighten tradition, whether by running for court, helping with committees, or showing school spirit during Spirit Week!
