From the desk of Principal Zeigler

Hello Brayton Families!

Happy 2025! We are 25 years into the millennium. Where does the time go?

Just a friendly reminder from Nurse Johnson:

Please do Not send cough drops to school with your child (send water instead).

As the days get colder, please speak to your children about dressing appropriately for the weather and to make sure that they remember to bring their belongings home. The Lost and Found fills up quickly.

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season with family and friends. Thank you again for all of your lovely gifts and kind words.

Looking forward to a happy 2025.

In Partnership,

Ms. Zeigler

Wishing Mrs. Pallitto the Very Best

We are sorry to say that Mrs. Pallitto's last day at Brayton will be January 8th. I just want to take this time to say how much she will be missed. Mrs. Pallitto's cheerful face greeted us each morning as she made sure that everyone was well and taken care of. We wish her the best of luck and we thank her for all that she has done for the Brayton community. Once a Bobcat, always a Bobcat!

Your email must include your child’s name and class in the subject line. If there is a change in dismissal, please make sure the email is sent NO LATER than 2:30pm.

You can also use this email address to report an absence. Please remember to include the date of the absence and the reason. Don’t forget to copy your child’s teacher.

If you choose to call the office to report an absence, please make sure you leave the information in a voicemail.

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.).
