Clubs such as art, theatre, and student government will also have booths you can get information from if you are interested in joining.
We hope to see you all there for a few fun packed hours of tricks and treats.

We have a very large amount of students tardy each morning. Please try to leave just 5 min earlier to have them here on time. The tardy bell rings at 7:50 am.
Are you running a little late or did you have an appointment?
To Check Your Child Out Early
PLEASE send a mask to school with your student each day and an extra in their backpack.

Student Fees
Student Fees can be paid online here or by check/cash in the office.
Kindergarten Supply Fees can not be paid online. Please give this payment to your child's teacher or the office.
Parent Visitors
Visitors need to wear a mask while on school property. We would absolutely love for parents to volunteer, however, ask that all sessions are pre-planned with your child’s teacher and scheduled, so that we can minimize the amount of outside adults in classrooms.
At this time, we can not accommodate parents coming in and eating lunch in our cafeteria. Parents are certainly welcome to continue to bring in lunch and drop it with our office staff and we will see to it that your child receives it on their way to their lunch.
Watch Dog Volunteers Needed
Brantner is a wonderfully unique school, where we partner with family members to help keep the inside and outside of our building safe. We have a resident Watch Dog, Roger Lance, a grandparent of a Brantner student, who helps oversee this program.
To volunteer for this, simply call the office and share your availability! We will provide you with a vest and radio.
Time Commitments-
Any time frame before, during, or after school.
Any time length that works for your schedule.
We would love to have you!
