Brasser Elementary welcomes the family–school partnership:
November, 2020
We thank you for making school a priority in your family’s life during these difficult times! The children have been amazing, and we are very impressed by their behavior thus far. We are very fortunate to have such wonderful families and students as a part of our Florence Brasser Community. Please feel free to contact us to share, celebrate, or raise awareness about items that matter to you that concern school-wide practices. We continuously support students in a positive light by using the Brasser Way: Compassion, Respect, Responsibility, and Hard work.We look forward to sustaining this positive energy here at Brasser throughout the school year.
November brings Thanksgiving break….. we want to personally thank a great staff of individuals who we get to work with every day, great kids who are responsible and care about their education, and parents who are supportive of their child’s education at Brasser.
Thanks for sending the very best children to Brasser School every day whether to our building or virtual! Wishing you the best!
Sincerely,
Timothy Young
Principal

Any families of students in grades K-12 requesting a change must complete the Enrollment Change Form to confirm their choice of learning model for the second semester. If you are not requesting a change of instruction model but do wish to make a change to your child’s transportation arrangements, please complete the form. If you do not need to make any changes, you do not need to complete the form.
COVID-19 positive data reported on this site includes students and staff in the district. These cases have been validated by Monroe County Health Department.
In the event of a move to the orange or red zones, the district must test 100% of in-person learners to be able to reopen to in-person instruction. Without this consent, we cannot test and therefore, would be required to remain fully remote if in the orange or red zones. We ask families to complete a consent form for each in-person learner in their household.
Gates Chili is one many districts in Monroe County, that must begin to randomly test 20% of all hybrid in-person staff and students in order to continue in-person instruction. We estimate the district will need to test approximately 500 staff and students each week while we are under the yellow zone designation.
Ambassadors will review the preliminary 2021-22 budget as developed by the administration within parameters established by the Board of Education, and recommend to the BOE any modifications they would like to see.
With face masks and costume masks galore, the annual event moved outdoors to the GCHS parking lot on Oct. 29. Dozens of seniors arrived as early as 6:15 a.m. to show off epic costumes for a costume contest, eat breakfast served on the Spartan Eats bus, stay warm by fire pits and make memories as a class. It was the first time this year they've been able to gather as a class.
For these 22 classes of fully-remote students in grades K-5, learning goes beyond the computer screen. Students are also having the chance to take part in hands-on learning.
