Dear Brackett Families,
Happy Day 2! These first two days of school have been fabulous! It is SO wonderful to have everyone back in the buildings, learning new routines and laughing with new and old friends. All of our kindergarteners will be at school tomorrow as well! YAY!
One huge change has been shifting recess across the street. Our students have been carefully crossing, aided by the new orange crossing flags and guiding adults. It is very sunny in the park, so consider the addition of sunscreen application to your morning routine. Thank you to the PTO for supporting this change with recess materials, wagons, and bins!
Thank you to everyone for your calm and understanding as we have much less space for arrival and dismissal. As a reminder, we begin walking into the building at 7:55am. Our first graders go first through the main doors, followed by second and third grades. Fourth and fifth graders go in the cafeteria doors. Arriving at 7:50 may help your child get settled in the line.
Best,
Dr. Vice

Breakfast Club
Included in Dr. Homan’s message prior to the first day of school was information about APS Before School Breakfast Club. We are asking families at ALL K-12 Schools who plan to access this program 3 days a week or more to SIGN THEIR CHILD UP HERE. This is a general and non-binding sign-up to give us an idea of how many students will attend at each school.
