Brown Elementary Update
Greetings Brown Families and Caregivers,
As we approach the end of this school year, I find myself reflecting on what an extraordinary privilege it has been to serve as your principal during my first year at Brown. When I arrived last August, I was welcomed by a community that embodies excellence, warmth, and genuine partnership—and I am deeply grateful.
This year, I have witnessed firsthand the magic that happens when families, teachers, and staff work together with shared purpose. From our many Brown School traditions to the countless ways you've supported our students' growth, it's clear that Brown is truly special. Your trust in our educators, your involvement in school events, and your commitment to our children's success have not gone unnoticed.
To our PTO and family volunteers: You are the heartbeat of our school. Whether you've served on committees, chaperoned field trips, contributed to fundraisers, or simply shown up with enthusiasm and energy—your dedication makes an immeasurable difference. Thank you for making Brown such a welcoming and connected community.
As your students enjoy their well-deserved break, I encourage you to keep the joy of learning alive at home! Here are some simple, fun ways to reinforce skills over the summer:
- Read together daily — Visit your local library, explore new genres, or revisit favorites. Let your child pick books that excite them!
- Math in everyday life — Cook together, play board games, or explore measurement during outdoor activities.
- Explore nature — Take nature walks, visit local parks, or start a small garden. Encourage observation and curiosity.
- Create and build — Art projects, LEGO creations, and DIY activities spark creativity and problem-solving.
- Practice writing — Encourage journaling, letter-writing to friends, or creating stories about summer adventures.
- Limit screen time — Balance technology with outdoor play, family time, and hands-on activities.
I am excited about the journey ahead. Your partnership, feedback, and involvement have shaped this year in remarkable ways, and I look forward to building on this foundation together. As we begin planning for next year, I am energized by the possibilities and the continued collaboration that will make Brown an even stronger community.
Thank you for entrusting me with the privilege of leading your school. Enjoy a restful, joyful summer with your families.
Warm regards,
Dr. Even

There have been confirmed cases of head lice in several of our Natick Public School buildings. While head lice can be a nuisance, it is not a health concern. Please click to review the NPS policy on head lice (pediculosis). Our NPS nurses support policy that is grounded in evidence-based research rather than stigma or fear.
Please remember that it is the parents/guardians responsibility to conduct regular checks of their student’s hair, to begin AAP-approved treatment if any nits or lice are found, and to notify close contacts. In most cases, an infestation has likely been present for several weeks before detection.
No School - Friday, June 19th
