FROM THE OFFICE
Our Midsummer Update contains pertinent information for the beginning of the new school year. Please review the information carefully and send any questions you have to office@bradfordacademy.org
A few quick reminders:
- Order uniforms now! Don’t bring Amazon Prime 2-day shipping expectations to uniform ordering or you’ll find your kids on the first day of school without a uniform! Go ahead and place the orders now so you have time to get everything you need. **The boys shorts have been added back in now so you can go ahead and order!**
- PE for K – 5th grades: They will not be changing for PE this year. They should have a pair of athletic shoes that fit the dress code (all black; neutral accents are ok) to wear to school on PE days.
- Required Summer Reading: 6th – 12th grades – Please return books as soon as you finish with them so classmates can check them out.
- Summer Reading for House points! 1st – 5th grades – Please visit our library to check out books to help your house win!
- Immunization updates needed! Students in Kindergarten, 7th, and 12th grades must submit an updated immunization record by the first day of school.
- Ongoing opportunities this summer:
- Tuesdays, 9-10am: Cross Country Runs – Athletes in 6th – 12th grades can run at the main campus
- Tuesdays, 7-9pm: Boys pick up soccer at the turf fields
- Thursdays, 7pm: Girls pick up soccer at the MACC
***Special Note***
