Brayton Business
September 20, 2024
From the desk of Principal Zeigler
It was great to see you all at Coffee with the Principal. Thank you for your questions and your care for Brayton.
This week Brayton participated in "Start with Hello" week. Brayton students went out of their way to make connections and we are very proud of them.
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. I thank you in advance for your partnership.
Brayton Blasts from the PTO go out every week so if you are not receiving newsletters from the PTO and would like to get them, please email me at szeigler@summit.k12.nj.us. I will forward your information to the PTO.
Enjoy your weekend!
Ms. Zeigler

Visitors to the building will scan their driver's license after entering the front door into the "mantrap" and a visitor pass will be printed out in the main office. As always, we request that you call the office before coming to the building and please remember to bring your driver's license with you if you will need to come inside. Any items to be dropped off will be left on the blue table inside the front door. Thank you.
