Dear Brackett Families,
Earlier this week, fliers were sent home with information about School Council elections. The School Council is a separate entity from the PTO and works with the administration to discuss issues of policy, procedure, and improvement of the school. The School Council is composed of the principal, assistant principal, teacher, parent and community representatives and will convene quarterly for in person meetings.
Learn more about the school council candidates here and please vote by Friday, January 17.
Due to illness, the PTO Community meeting scheduled for tonight is Cancelled. We will include information about the rescheduled meeting next week.
Yours,
Dr. Vice
