Good evening,
We appreciate every family who was able to make it to our Orientation today at either our 12:00 or 5:00 session. Mrs. Jenkins and Ms. Migliore went over some important changes as we move towards making BRADA a place where synergy truly sparks success. As Monday morning arrives, we have a few reminders we want to reiterate to make sure the start of the school year is seamless and synergized, especially for those who did not make it to an orientation session!
Only plastic bottles with water are allowed. No metal tumblers are allowed in our building any longer.
Each student will receive or already has a Yondr pouch that MUST be used. NO POUCH, NO PHONES! We are no longer allowed to keep phones in the main office. If you lose, destroy or forget to bring your pouch, students will have to call a parent to retrieve their phone that school day. Lost or destroyed pouches will need to be replaced.
Doors open at 7:10 for breakfast and classes begin PROMPTLY at 7:30.
Please see the attached photos for reference and visit our website at http://brada.nhps.net
We cannot wait to welcome you on Monday!
