It was a fabulous first week at Brown School! Thank you for all of your support in ensuring that your child's return to school was a positive one. While the week's heavy rain made for some interesting challenges, staff and students alike did not let it interfere with learning procedures, building relationships, and diving into our curriculum. We are looking forward to seeing all of you at Back to School Night on Tuesday, September 12th. Please see the times and details below.

This must be updated every year. Your child's teacher will send one copy home. Additional copies can be obtained in the office.
PTO News
While our annual Walk-a-Thon is our major school fundraiser, we also encourage you to participate in passive fundraising opportunities. Throughout the year, please send in your Roger's receipts and Box Tops. The money earned through these programs directly support student learning and activities. We appreciate your support of our school and programs!
We look forward to seeing you on September 18th from 12:00-1:00 p.m. in the Brown School Media Center for our first PTO meeting of the year. A light lunch will be provided.
School Security
Keeping your children safe at school is a top priority. All visitors must enter through the Brown School Rd. entrance and sign in with Mrs. Martin in the office. You will be asked to trade your driver's license for a visitor's badge. Thank you for your help in ensuring our school is safe and secure.
