STUDENT CHECKLISTS:

These checklists are simply tools to help you know you’re ready for the first day of school!  You do not need to turn them in.

IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS FOR REVIEW:

Bradford Athletic Spirit Store:  Check it out here!

All kinds of gear for parents, students, grandparents can be found in this store!  These items are great for house competitions, sports practices, spectators at athletic events, wearing around the community.  Pro Tip:  order items in your house color.  The items do not replace the Bradford student uniform and are not approved for the classroom.

IMMUNIZATIONS:

All Kindergarten, 7th, and 12th grade students are required by NC state law to receive immunizations and provide updated reports to the school by the first day of school.  Please review the information here to make sure you get all that is needed.  Medical and religious exemptions are permitted. 

23/24 SUPPLY LIST:  Kindergarten through 12th grades

UNIFORMS:

Now is the time to place your orders!  Since embroidery is a slower process,  I would recommend separating items with logos into a different order than items without logos to ensure you will receive some items on time.

Access Uniform Guides, etc. on our website under the Parent tab here.

AFTERSCHOOL CARE:  

Moms’ Helper and Bradford Plus are services provided to parents for both planned and unplanned circumstances.  Sometimes meetings run long, traffic backs up, emergencies arise…whatever the situation, you can be confident your child will be safe and supervised.  

  • Moms’ Helper provides care for Transitional Kindergarten students from 12:00 – 2:45.
  • Bradford Plus provides care for all students from 2:45 – 5:45.  
  • Please review the Policies and Procedures here.  
  • REGISTRATION FORM:  We ask that all parents complete this form for each student, even if you do not plan to use afterschool care.  Sometimes unexpected circumstances arise and we want to be prepared to provide the best care for your child.
