Please mark your calendars for the following:
Atlanta Public Schools (APS) is in the process of updating student records and pre-registering students for the 2021-2022 school year and requests that you verify that your information is up to date.
In order to verify that your information is up to date, please log in to your Infinite Campus Parent Portal Account. Our Parent Portal Help Page includes helpful information including how to set-up your Parent Portal account for the first time and verify that your contact information is up to date.
At this time, we are not conducting in-person tours of Morris Brandon. We encourage all prospective parents and students to watch our School Tour Video from last fall, which also showcases our students’ commitment to International Baccalaureate principles.
Mr. Bland also hosted a Virtual Prospective Parent/Rising Kindergarten Meeting. You can view that meeting in its entirety here:
You can view all of Principal Bland’s Town Hall Meetings HERE.

Carpool Times:
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.
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.
Please see the map below (and attached) for information on how to approach the Primary Center as we return to in-person learning.
Here Comes the Bus is a bus-tracking app, which will enable parents to view real-time location of their child’s school bus on a website via a computer, tablet or smartphone.
We are looking ahead to planning and budgeting for next school year. We need your help to make sure that we plan appropriately for any influx of students we may have for the 2021-22 school year. If you or someone you know was enrolled at MBES and ended up attending elsewhere, please fill out THIS survey to tell us of your intent for next year.
