We do not always follow the closure schedule of the local public schools because we don’t have to contend with the same transportation issues as public schools. Our goal is to be open as many days as possible to support our working parents. If we must close because our teachers cannot safely get to work, you will receive a notification via Links 2 Home as soon as the closure is announced. We also post notifications on our website and Facebook page.
Winter Clothing Reminder
If you’ve not already done so, please check your child’s cubby to ensure they have an extra set of weather appropriate clothes. Students also need to come to school each day with a jacket and dressed warm enough to play outside for part of the day. If the weather is brisk we still go outside for active games and SPARK activities and want everyone to be able to participate!

Holiday Giving Project
This year Carrington Academy Braselton will be sponsoring children, ages 6 and under, who are patients at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston. Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta is very dear to my heart. Children’s is a family centered hospital that is 100% committed to kids. Their mission is to provide the best care and best experience for every child. Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta cares for more then half a million children and teens every year.
Carrington Academy Braselton will be placing a tree in our lobby on November 26th, 2018. Our tree will have several paper ornaments with needed gifts for the 25 sponsored children.
