The Week of November 10, 2014



pppppppppppppppppppppppppppp


Welcome back!
I hope you had/will have a nice Veterans Day and are now ready for students to get back to School.   Below is a Ted Talk video that is very well worth watching.   Veteran, Wes Moore answers the question, "How do you talk to veterans about the war?"  Very relevant, very necessary...

2014-15 School Plan

On November 20th at 5:30 pm the three middle school Principal's will be presenting their 2014-15 School Plans to the Board of Education.  I will be presenting our Successes from last school year and our challenges and focus for this school year.  The following are the four main areas of focus that I will be discussing and answering questions from the Board.  

Four main areas of focus for the 2014-15 school year:
•Continued Common Core Training, Development, Implementation and Critique
•Governance Structure, Professional Learning Communities and Communication
•Olweus and the Bruin Bullying Prevention Program
•Customer Service

Once the plan has been presented and approved by the Board, you will be able to access  
a copy of it.  It will be posted on the District Website as well as our school Website.

Superintendent Dr. Flores has determined customer service as a goal for all schools this year. As part of our focus on customer service, Brownell will be having a series of staff development sessions for all of our staff through the school year to better serve our students and families as well as each other.   We will soon have a form that you can fill out to let us know how we are doing and the District will also be surveying our families a little later in the school year for more comprehensive information.
