Brayton Business

I hope you enjoyed your week. Thursday will be Thanksgiving and I can't believe how quickly 2024 is going by.

What a week! The third graders had a great time at The Great Swamp and the fifth graders had fun learning about the business world at Biz Town. We even had some rain this week (but it didn't spoil our fun!)

Your child will be bringing home information regarding the Holiday Shop that will be held on December 5th and 6th. Please check their backpacks.

Since next week is a short week, the next Brayton Business newsletter will go out on Friday, December 6th.

Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving. May your homes be filled with great fortune, good health and much love.

Have a wonderful weekend.

In Partnership,

Ms. Zeigler

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
