    What’s New with Carpool?

    Carpool Times:

    • Drop Off:   7:30 AM – 8:00 AM (students are marked tardy after 8:00)
    • Pick Up:     2:15 PM – 3:00 PM

    We need all parents to download the PikMyKid app. It’s more than just carpool: PikMyKid will allow you to declare when you are here for carpool, change transportation, send updates about critical bus changes and even contact your teacher. We will start using the PikMyKid app for dismissal on Tuesday, February 16. Be sure to read through everything and register!  You will be assigned a new carpool number via PikMyKid.

    Keep in mind that Friday, February 12 is the last day to drop off as late as 8:15 AM. Beginning Tuesday, February 15, all students arriving after 8:00 AM will be marked tardy. In order to make this happen, it’s critical that our students (mostly PC) are fully ready, mask on, and everything in hand when your car pulls around. We want all parents to stay in their cars, drop off and be on your way quickly! Need to ride a shuttle bus to the other building? Busses 560 and 574 will bring students from one campus to the other each morning and afternoon.

  • COVID-19 Surveillance Testing at Morris Brandon

    SURVEILLANCE TESTING FAQs

    Students attending face-to-face learning will bring home important documents prepared by APS for consent to do COVID-19 Surveillance Testing. If you choose to opt-in, consent and privacy forms are to be returned to your homeroom teachers at any time during this school year.

    Morris Brandon is the first school in the state to have surveillance testing! Read more about surveillance testing HERE. 

    CONSENT FORM

    NOTICE OF PRIVACY POLICY

    Atlanta Public Schools (APS) is continuing its effort to keep everyone in our schools and buildings safe by making COVID-19 Surveillance Testing available to all students and staff. COVID-19 Surveillance Testing is a non-diagnostic test that detects the presence of COVID-19 even in individuals who may be asymptomatic. The benefits of surveillance testing include early detection of positive individuals to limit the spread of COVID-19 in our schools and buildings, as well as, rapid results and notifications for impacted individuals within 24 hours of testing. This allows for parents and staff to make informed decisions regarding healthcare and taking the needed precautions prior to coming to school or work.
