Brown Elementary Update
Greetings Brown Families and Caregivers,
We hope everyone stayed safe and warm during the extended February vacation brought on by the Blizzard of the 26. Thank you for your patience as we navigated the weather closure, and we're grateful to be back together as a school community.
Mid-Year Renaissance Screening Reports
In the coming weeks, families will receive reports from our mid-year Renaissance screening assessments. These important assessments are administered three times throughout the school year and play a vital role in supporting our instructional planning and intervention strategies.
The Renaissance screening assessments help us gain valuable insight into each student's progress and identify the next steps in their learning journey. We are thrilled to share that we've seen tremendous growth across our school since the beginning of the year! These assessments allow our dedicated staff to better understand where each student is thriving and where they may benefit from additional support.
Understanding Your Student's Report
When you receive your child's assessment report, you'll find detailed information about their performance and progress. We encourage you to take time to review the results and reach out to your child's teacher with any questions.
Additional Resources

Thank you for your partnership in supporting student success!

If your child has illness symptoms:
Please keep your child home and refer to the Reasons To Keep Your Child Home From School guidelines.
Reminder to parents:
Students will be going outside if we are not experiencing severe weather. Please pack appropriately for outdoor play, including boots, coats, snowpants, waterproof gloves/mittens and hats, as well as a change of clothes to be kept in their backpacks in case they get wet while playing.
Hydration:
Please send your child with a water bottle each day. It is important to hydrate even in the colder months!
Also: If anyone has any extra hand-me-down pants that they could contribute to the clinic for “emergency” situations, the nurses would greatly appreciate it!
Early Release - Wednesday, March 11
Students will be dismissed at 12:15 on Wednesday, March 11. Please plan ahead and update any changes to your dismissal plan in Pick Up Patrol by 11:30AM.
