Dear Florence Brasser Families;

Brasser Elementary welcomes the family –school partnership:

•  We look forward to working with you and your child in learning.  How will you learn togetheralongside your child to support their education? 
• We look forward to working with families in providing opportunities for meaningful feedback and input in assisting our school.  How will you support your child and school in leading togetherwith us in making Florence Brasser the best school possible? 
• We look forward to celebrating great accomplishments together.  How will you work with us in supporting your child’s academic achievementgrowth?

As the 2019-2020 school year comes to a close, we want to celebrate the great accomplishments that we have witnessed together.  For instance, we opened our beautiful new Brasser playground complex and also two beautiful new classrooms for our youngest learners. We instituted a school-wide positive behavior incentive program titled “Brasser Way, Every Day!” and our 3^rd-5^th graders were given their very own locker!

We were grounded in a strong family-school partnership through our building vision statement: Learning, Leading, & Achieving together.  We embraced 21st century learning opportunities by integrating technology and STEM into our instruction.  We embraced the use of technology to enhance our curriculum especially through our past 13 weeks with our online learning.   Students have been able to take ownership of their learning and are able to set goals for themselves to achieve success.  We have also worked very hard with our students to learn skills and attitudes to help them manage emotions and build positive relationships. Our students have learned to demonstrate empathy and continue to develop an understanding on diversity and inclusivity. Due to this hard work; we were honored to be recognized by the NYSED as a “Recognition School” for being among the top-performing schools fostering equity in education. 

 These last 13 weeks has been unprecedent due to the coronavirus pandemic and will be remembered when reflecting on the 2019-2020 school year. It is our hope that you will remember the efforts of our Brasser staff to provide you with the very best education and to remind you of how loved and appreciated you are! We created silly and emotional videos to connect with you; we paraded past many of your homes for over three hours to see you; we used Zoom to learn with you; we found creative ways to celebrate with you despite our physical distance. In the end, we saw the best of humanity come together with renewed hope and appreciation for the people in our lives. We offer a sincere thank you to our students, families, teachers and staff for making Brasser a wonderful place to learn, lead and achieve together.

To our 5^th grade students –We wish you the very best in all aspects of life. Throughout your time here at Brasser Elementary, it has been our purpose to help you grow into Hard Working, Compassionate, Responsible and Respectful citizens.  We have no doubt that you will carry on in the tradition of the hundreds of Brasser students who preceded you and are now productive members of our society.

Families – Thank you for sending the very best to Brasser School every day. The staff feel privileged to be a part of these important years, during which we have the opportunity to work with our community’s most treasured resource….your child.

To each of you, we give our special thanks.

Sincerely,

Tim Young,
