Dear Brackett Families,
Tonight is the first PTO Community Meeting. Click here for the agenda and more information. The meeting will be from 6:30-8pm in the Brackett library.
Today and Friday, Mr. Vanderlaine, Ms. Murray, Ms. Varallo and I are at the ASCD Leadership Conference. This is an amazing opportunity for us to think more deeply about school leadership at different levels – teacher leadership, community leadership, and administrative leadership – and to bring new and exciting ideas back to Brackett.
We are honored to have Ms. Weslie Etienne Pierre as acting principal for these two days. Please say hello and welcome her to our community.
Best,
Dr. Vice
