PRINCIPAL'S comment:

It has been wonderful having the children back in school. I am very impressed by the behavior thus far that the children have brought back with them. It is evident that the students and teachers have spent time discussing classroom routines and school-wide procedures. I will be meeting with each classroom in the near future to discuss the Gates Chili’s Code of Conduct and the Brasser Family Handbook. If you have not reviewed this information with your child, please do so as both were handed out in the beginning of the year. If you need another copy, please contact the main office. Also, as we return to the daily school routines, please try to find some time each day to talk to your child about school.
 
The Brasser Elementary School has a School Improvement Team (SIT) in place to promote a partnership between parents, teachers, school staff and administrators. This team meets on a monthly basis to oversee the implementation of school improvement goals. Parental input is encouraged and valued. If you feel you would like to be apart of this team, please contact me for further information.  

I encourage you to be well informed with up-to-date information about your child’s class and our school.  Our Brasser website is continually being updated with announcements, information, pictures and more! (http://www.gateschili.org/florence_brasser.cfm)

If you wish to discuss a matter that directly affects your child in the classroom, please speak with your child’s teacher first. He/She is the person who interacts with your child on a daily basis and will be able to address your concerns. Your child’s teacher would be the best person to help you in the areas of:  your child’s academic progress, any concerns or questions you may have about classroom routines or procedures, classroom discipline matters, and homework. In addition, the classroom teacher can share ideas to help you reinforce skills and concepts taught at school. If your  concerns center on a school-wide practice, please
direct your call to me. I will do my best to contact you as soon as I possibly can. Thank you for taking the time to read all of the important information in this month’s Brasser Bugle. It was a pleasure meeting so many parents and families at our school’s open house and also at the Apple Dumpling Festival. I look forward to seeing you at many more Brasser Family Association  events in the upcoming months. On behalf of the staff and faculty at Brasser Elementary, best wishes for a productive and positive school year.
