We will be having Kona Ice as a fundraiser this year again.  Last year we started it late in the spring and was still able to raise a hundred dollars.  Our goal this year is $1,000.  All funds will be put into the Parent Club ASB account for our students.  
Starts Monday the 22nd!  and every Monday there after
after school... 
(unless we really have a winter)

First Dance of the School Year this Friday. 

We have made some changes…. 

1.    If a student owes a book, text or replacement fees they will not be able to go to the dances while they owe the amount unless their parent of guardian has an economic hardship and has made arrangements.   If there will be hardship in paying for any lost items, make sure you make arrangements with the front office so that we can have your student “work” off the owed amount.  Contact the front office soon so there will be time to make the arraignment.  Need not have completed the hours to be illegible to go to the dance, but we need to have the arrangement signed in order to participate.   Brownell loses thousands of dollars a year in lost books.

2.    NEW HOURS and ACCOMMODATIONS!  This dance we will be having 6^th grade go first from 5:00pm to 6:30 pm and the 7^th and 8^th graders will go from 6:30 pm to 8:00pm.  We thought we would give it a try and the students like the idea.

EARLY RELEASE DAYS!

As we have over the last couple of years, middle schools will have early release days so that the teachers can collaborate together on curriculum and lesson planning.  This year’s dates are as follows:

October 6th, December 1st, February 23rd, March 16th, and May 4th.

School is let out at 12:00 pm on these days.   All classes are attended with some minutes taken off each class period.
