Dear Parents, Guardians, and Caregivers:
Welcome to the “new” Brayton, where we serve the city's youngest learners. Recognizing this is a big change for the community, the faculty and staff are looking forward to working with you to support your students' transition to our school as they continue (or begin) their educational journey. The early years of a student's education are crucial to their success and we will now have all of the experts in one building, working collaboratively.
I know there are many emotions, nervousness, and anxiety that you may be feeling as we get closer to the beginning of the school year. Please know that all of your questions and concerns will be answered before the start of the school year and I will continue to communicate with you throughout the summer.
To answer some frequently asked questions:
You can expect to be notified of your student's teacher during the week of August 12th - this will come via mail. If you do not receive a mailing from the school by Friday, August 16th please let us know by emailing me at ariello@napsk12.org.
Bus routes will be shared and posted to the NAPS website in mid-August. We will send a robo-communication once they’re complete and posted on our website.
Brayton hours will remain the same for K-2 with drop-off starting at 8:25 and dismissal at 2:55. Drop-off can begin as early as 8:05 am and pick-up can occur as late as 3:15. Please refer to Dr. Malkas’ updates for details.
PreK - please stay tuned for start/end times as these depend on bussing and therefore have not been set yet.
Please expect changes to the drop off/pick up routines. These changes will be communicated in an August mailing.
Dismissal is 11:30 on half days - PreK does not attend on half days.
Please be on the lookout for information regarding Welcome Events being held at the end of August for students to meet their teachers and tour the school. More information will be coming soon!!
We are looking for folks to join the new Brayton Parent Teacher Group (PTG). There will be an organizational meeting on Monday, August 12th at 5:30 pm in the Brayton Welcome Center to kick off the year. If you are interested in being a part of the PTG and can not attend the meeting, please email me to let me know! The more members we have the better, and all are welcome!!
Have a wonderful and relaxing summer. I look forward to meeting you soon!
