Welcome Back!

The Charles A. Brown Elementary School learning community will be a model school for innovative practices, research based and inquiry centered instruction that prepares students to interact with high moral character in a global society driven by digital media and 21st Century Technology. 

1.  As we head toward the end of the school year let's keep our focus on the essentials that make us who we are.

a.  Structure and Order - Be dutiful in all supervisory responsibilities
b.  Meaningful In-Depth Instruction - We are working under global standards and student learning will be the measure of our success.  Their learning will be assessed in traditional and non-traditional ways.
c.  Digital Learning Community - Teaching and learning is enhanced by using technology.  We are on the cutting edge in our infusion of technology into our classrooms.
d.  A Culture of Winning - We are winners! Winners prepare, work hard and have the confidence to know that results will show their hard work.  We seek out contests and challenges to allow our students to compete.
e.  Communication With Parents - Parents are our partners and by keeping them informed they can support our work.  Make sure all promotion issues have been discussed, ensure that parents are aware of Summer Enrichment plan at our school.
