Family Newsletter Week of 1/2/2024

Dear Brackett Families,

Happy New Year! Hope you had a lovely break. 

Next week we have Parent-Teacher Conferences. Please enter the building at the front entrance and sign in at the table in the lobby before heading to your child’s classroom for your conference. If you have not signed up, please email your child’s teacher directly to schedule. 

On Tuesday and Wednesday, school will end at 11:30am. Students can order a bagged lunch on these days. Afterschool will pick up for all programs.

Yours,
Dr. Vice
