Welcome to Brayton School!! January 23, 2012
Dear Children, Families, and Guardians, We will have our next school celebration on Tuesday, January 24th at 1:15. We welcome parents, but please know that it is always a tight squeeze to fit everyone into the cafeteria for our celebrations. We love to parents in the audience, but the seating is not always desirable. Thanks for being interested and flexible. At Tuesday’s celebration, the Student Council will let our school community know about “No Name Calling Day”, which is a state initiative to “black out bullying”. Students will be encouraged to wear black and refrain from calling anyone names on Wednesday, January 25. “No Name Calling Day” is intended to promote tolerance and respect for differences and reaffirm our commitment to basic human rights and dignity. The PTA has rescheduled Family Movie Night to February 10 at 6:30. Also, the drawings for the PTA cash calendar prizes are well underway, and prizes are being mailed to winners. A final list of winners will also be announced at the end of the month. Keep your fingers crossed if you purchased one of these calendars. The Student Council will meet again at 8:00 in the library on February 16. The Improve Brayton Club will meet on February 2 instead of the third Thursday in January or February. Sorry for the change. We will meet on February 2 from 3:00-4:00 in Mr. Chapman’s room. The two groups are sponsoring two upcoming events: Hats for Hunger on February 8, where students and staff can pay $1.00 to wear a hat for the day. Proceeds will go to the Berkshire Food Project. Also, on Friday, February 10, it will be Fun Hair Friday at Brayton. Please check out a new bulletin board outside the office, which posts information regarding the Honor Roll for 6th and 7th grade as well as news from the Student Council and Improve Brayton Club. You can stay updated with your child’s academic progress by checking grades on PowerSchool. There is a link to PowerSchool at the bottom right hand corner of the district web page. https://www.napsk12.org/ If you do not know your password information, please contact your child’s teacher or the office. Report cards will be sent home on January 31. Please let me know if you ever have any questions, concerns, or feedback about our school. Sarah Madden Principal |
