  • Parents of 7th – 12th graders:

    On August 6 – 9, we will be offering a summer JumpStart week to help students prepare for the upcoming school year.  Students will have the opportunity to get back into the school mode with instruction in Math, Reading, Social Studies, and English.  This is a great chance for review and preparation.
    Classes will be from 8:00 AM – noon, Monday through Thursday.  Classes will be at the high school on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday and at the elementary on Tuesday due to upcoming electrical updates.
    If you are interested, please email Mr. Sawyer (jsawyer@braham.k12.mn.us) or you can send your student on Monday morning, August 6.
