Brayton Business

I hope everyone had a great week.

Schools will be closed on Monday, January 20th in recognition of Dr. Martin Luther King, jr.

A friendly and important reminder: please do NOT pick up or drop off your children on the school side of Tulip. This backs up traffic and makes it unsafe for everyone.

February is National Children's Dental Month. Please see Nurse Johnson's flyer in the Nurse's Corner.

Any emails that are sent to Mrs. Pallitto regarding school information can be sent to me at szeigler@summit.k12.nj.us. Absence and dismissal changes can still be sent to besASAP@summit.k12.nj.us. Please make sure to copy your child's teacher.

The Lost and Found is filling up again, so please remind your child to look through it if they are looking for any lost items.

I also want to take this time to send positive thoughts and energy to those who have been affected by the fires in LA. Please be safe and be well. We wish you all the best.

Have a wonderful long weekend.

In Partnership,

Ms. Zeigler
