Bransford Elementary Mission Statement
To create a positive learning environment for all students that integrates the Arts into Education.
Greetings from Ms. Gerdes
How are we already here?!? The Last Week of School! WOW. What a gift it has been this year to serve your child/ren at Bransford. I do believe we have the BESt students, staff, and families. I am so excited to see where next year takes us! For our 5th graders, make this week a positive, memorable week. Nothing compares to elementary school. We sure will miss you!
Field Day is Tuesday. PLEASE consider stopping by on Monday (between 7:30-3:15) to print your RAPTOR badge if you are visiting during Field Day. All guests are required to wear their badge where it can be seen. If not, they will be asked to return to the front of the building to sign in. BEAT THE RUSH and print it on Monday. The Field Day schedule and map are below. If a guest needs the restroom, you can enter through the front door and access through the office. Thank you for upholding our safety protocols. Student and staff safety is our priority!
Remember Thursday is The Last Day of School and we have early release at 11:45 am. All items in the Lost and Found will be donate on Thursday at 8:00 am. If you think your child might have something in the Lost and Found, please find it before Thursday.
If you have not yet, PLEASE register your child/ren in Skyward. In addition, school packs are for sale. See below for more information.
Soak up the fun and smiles this final week of the school year!
All My BESt,
Ms. Gerdes
