Supply Lists
We are asking that grade level teams create one common suggested supply list for the 2019-2020 school year. We will be publishing the Y5/K-5th grade lists on one page for families this coming year. This streamlined approach will make it much easier to communicate needs with our families. Thank you!
Class Placement Meetings are coming! Please work with your grade level team to create tentative class lists. As a reminder, we are not assigning a teacher's name to the class, only A, B, and C (second grade lists only). I will determine the teacher after the process is finalized.
We will meet for a 30-minute meeting together to go over the metrics. I am available to meet at 7:50, 11:50, or at 3:50 most days. Please schedule our time together with Sara. We will hope to wrap all of the meetings up by May 17th.
Thank you for your hard work to create a culture of reading at Brown School! I heard so many stories of celebrations and accomplishments this week (and every week) at our school. From buddy reading to a deep level of engagement, our students continue to demonstrate their love of books. Kudos to all of you!
You are all V.I.P.s! I can't wait to deliver a "room service" treat to you on May 6th! Please have your card completed no later than the end of the day on Friday, May 3rd.
