January Newsletter Message

Happy New Year to all of our Bragg School community! As we begin 2026, we are energized and focused on doing our very best in the months ahead. Learning is happening every day throughout Bragg School across all content areas, and our students and staff continue to work hard, grow, and support one another. As we enter the new year, we remain committed to high expectations, positive relationships, and being the best we can be together.

I am writing to share some exciting news with you. We are thrilled to announce that Lowey Bundy Sichol, an award-winning children’s author, will be visiting Bragg School on Friday, January 30. During her visit, Ms. Sichol will meet with all grade levels for a special assembly, and we are very much looking forward to welcoming her to our school community.

We look forward to a memorable experience for our students!

Leader in Me – January Update

“Leadership is communicating people’s worth and potential so clearly that they are inspired to see it in themselves.” — Stephen R. Covey

Recess - We make every effort to provide students with outdoor recess whenever conditions are safe. During the winter months, cold temperatures and icy conditions can sometimes make outdoor areas unsafe for student use. When this occurs, recess may take place indoors. Additionally, please be sure that students come to school dressed appropriately for the weather so they can comfortably participate in outdoor activities when conditions allow. Thank you for your understanding and support.

Arrival – Drop-Off Safety Reminder

If you are dropping off your child in the morning, please help us keep everyone safe by carefully following these important safety protocols:

1. Only drop off students in the designated areas marked by cones.

2. Please pull your vehicle forward as far as possible to allow room for all cars.

3. Students should exit the vehicle on the right side only. Please do not have children cross in front of cars.

4. All vehicles should pull past the crosswalk before dropping off students.

Thank you for your cooperation and support in helping us maintain a safe and smooth arrival for all students and staff!
