    APS Facilities (including playgrounds and fields!) are CLOSED.

    Brandon families and friends: Please keep in mind that all APS facilities are closed for the health and safety of our community to further prevent the spread of COVID-19. This includes parking lots, playgrounds, gyms, and fields. As you know social distancing is our most effective strategy at this time and it takes all of us doing our part. Please ensure your children are not coming onto the school grounds to congregate during this time. Thank you for your ongoing efforts to keep our entire community safe. As a reminder you can stay updated on all the Districts efforts at www.atlantapublicschools.us/coronavirus.

  • A Message from Principal Jay Bland

    In the effort to be as transparent as possible, I want to keep you in the loop on everything that has been happening in our district and school.  By now, you of course have heard the news about our school system moving to virtual on-line learning for the next two weeks and possibly more. What this means is that our teachers, faculty and staff are still clocking in remotely, monitoring student work, participating in virtual meetings and planning with each other as normal.  Of course, there is flexibility involved in this. Many of them, including myself, have young children that will be at home as well! Trying to balance the workload of pushing out assignments, grading, meeting, managing time cards and district expectations above all else is challenging and requires much flexibility! Please bear with us as we work to make this time away from the school building a success.  

    Here are a couple of pointers that can help you along the way:
