School Supplies
Our PTA and wonderful volunteers provide pre-packaged school supplies as designated by the grade level. These are delivered to your child’s Homeroom.
The best part — parents, educators, and community members can now share in the decision-making process by joining the local school GOvernance or GO Team. The GO Team is comprised of:
* 3 parents (elected March 8-14 by parents/guardians)
* 3 instructional staff (elected by staff members)
* 2 community members (nominated by principal)
* 1 swing seat (selected by GO Team)
* The principal (non-voting member)
All parents are invited to vote for their candidates of choice via an on-line election. In order to vote, you must have two important numbers:
* Your Voter-ID–this is your child’s student ID number, which can be found on their report card or via the infinite campus online system.
* Your PIN number–this number was sent home on a hard copy handout via your child’s backpack last week.
Beginning March 8, you may vote by visiting: www.atlantapublicschools.us/vote. Voting will take place 9:00 a.m. on March 8 to 11:59 p.m. on March 14. Please make sure you have your voter ID and PIN number available to participate.
Brandon has several talented candidates running for these 3 parent seats on the GO Team:

We are excited about plans for a brand new playground at the Morris Brandon Primary Center in preparation for the 2nd grade expansion in 2016-17! The former playground equipment has been moved to behind the building, where it will continue to be enjoyed, and a new playground will be built adjacent to the field. The entire Brandon community is coming together to make this vision a reality. Check this out! Proposed Primary Center Playground
Through the support of our Brandon parents, community and partners we hope to reach our fundraising goal of $40,000 by mid-April. There are many levels of support. Click HERE to learn more.
Wow! Have you seen the new structure on the Main Campus playground? This was a collaborative effort that will reap wonderful, “fresh air” rewards for our s
tudents and teachers. We thank Brandon parents for their Bee Fund donations, and the leadership of the Foundation for overseeing this exciting project, and Evan Hunter, Jr, who proposed this classroom for his Eagle Scout project, donating his efforts alongside Hunter Reising Design Build, Inc. to make this a reality! We can’t wait to take some of our learning outside at Morris Brandon
