Curriculum Release Day - May 3rd
We are looking forward to continuing our "Cha-Cha" work together on May 3rd from 8:15 a.m. - 2:45 p.m. Throughout our day together we will learn about additional tools and strategies for "checking" and "changing" instruction to meet the needs of all of our learners. 

We also look forward to sharing information with you related to a potential material pilot for the fall based on your feedback. 

We will connect remotely via Meet. Please join us from a learning space that you feel most productive in. An agenda and link will be shared as the date nears. 

We have decided to cancel ordering additional staff water at this time as the funding source has dried up (no pun intended). We were hopeful that the hallway bottle fillers will meet this need in the short-term. Let me know if you have concerns and/or ideas for funding if you feel you'd love to keep this service. Thank you!


Strategic Planning Update 

All four of our committees met this week to collectively commit to this essential work and to further explore the BELE Framework. Thank you to Sarah, Kent and Becky for representing the staff, students, and families of Brown School. We look forward to sharing more information as the process evolves.  


#CelebrateSmallWins
Check in with your swim buddy this week. What will you celebrate?

THANK YOU ALL for your support and teamwork. You care about each other and our students. That is so very evident. What a powerful team to be a part of!
