Brown Elementary Update
Greetings Brown Families and Caregivers,
Teachers have been busy this week in fall data meetings. We reviewed data from our fall Renaissance and SAEBRS screeners to plan for instruction and supports in literacy, math, and social emotional learning. Our conversations will inform adjustments to whole class instruction, as well as identify students in need of additional intervention support.
In the upcoming weeks, we will be reaching out to families of students who will be receiving additional support this fall. In addition, we will be mailing copies of the Renaissance screening reports to all families the week of October 21st.
Thank you all for all you do to support your child's learning at home!
In partnership,
Dr. Johanna Even
Principal
