Brown Elementary Update
Greetings Brown Families and Caregivers,
As we enter December and the joyful holiday season, I want to take a moment to thank you for your partnership and to share a few friendly reminders about keeping our learning community focused and connected.
This time of year brings traditions, celebrations, and well-deserved rest. It also offers rich opportunities for learning—curiosity sparked by new experiences, conversations at the dinner table, and chances to practice kindness and responsibility. At school, our teachers are working hard to keep students engaged with meaningful lessons and to build on the progress made so far this year. Your support at home makes a big difference.
Please help your child stay focused by:
- Maintaining regular sleep routines so students arrive rested and ready to learn.
- Encouraging consistent attendance and punctual arrival—every day in class matters.
- Carving out short, predictable times for reading and homework even during busier weeks.
- Reinforcing classroom expectations for practicing empathy, acting respectfully, working hard and solving problems together.
If you have questions or need support—academic, social-emotional, or logistical—please reach out to your child’s teacher or the main office. We’re here to help.
Thank you for all you do to keep our students learning, growing, and feeling supported.
In partnership,
Dr. Johanna Even
Principal
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.
Early Release
Wednesday, December 10 is an early release day. We will dismiss at 12:15. Please enter any dismissal plan changes in Pick Up Patrol by 11:30AM.
