From the desk of Principal Zeigler

Hello Brayton Families!

I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving weekend. I can't believe how quickly 2024 has gone by. We'll see 2025 in just a few weeks.

Thank you to the PTO for setting up the Holiday Shop, the students had a wonderful time shopping for gifts.

Parents as the days get colder, please remind your children to dress appropriately for the weather. They should also remember to bring home the items they came to school with (hats, gloves, scarves).

Have a wonderful weekend.

In Partnership,

Ms. Zeigler

Phones and Smart Watches

Families, please be aware that all phones and Smart watches are not allowed to be on or worn during the school day. They are turned off when school begins and placed in your child's backpack. If you need to contact your child for any reason, please call the main office. We will make sure your child gets your message.

Pets on School Grounds

We love your pets, but they are not allowed on school property (even if they are held in your arms). This includes arrival and dismissal. Please review board policy 7490

Morning Arrival

Please assist with having your children come straight to their class line in the morning when they arrive to school. The aides are there to supervise them on the blacktop and to help ensure that they start the school day safely. Children are not allowed on playground equipment in the morning. Adult supervision begins at 8:05 am. Students will enter the building with their class at 8:15 am and they will be dismissed at 3:00pm.

After Dismissal

Please note that students will not be allowed back in the school after dismissal to retrieve forgotten items (homework, books, instruments).

Afterschool Activities When Absent

Friendly reminder: If your child is absent from school, they will not be able to participate in afterschool activities on the day they were absent (after school enrichment (ASE), play rehearsal, etc.).
