I hope you and your family have had a restful summer break, and
that you’re as excited about the coming school year as I am.
2. Bill Brown teachers engage kids and get them excited about
learning. High test scores are nice to celebrate, but the rich,
meaningful learning experiences which naturally lead to those
high scores come first, and teachers here are mindful of that fact.
4. Bill Brown teachers understand that “one size does not fit
all” when it comes to teaching kids. The educational phrase for
that idea is “differentiated instruction”, but what it means for your
child is that if they need to be challenged more, you can expect
for them to be challenged, and if they need a teacher to slow
down and explain a skill or concept in a different way, you can
expect that, as well.
Give your kids a hug for us! We love them very much, and we
can’t wait to see them again on the afternoon of August 23rd at
“Meet the Teacher”. Pat yourselves on the back, as well.
Exemplary status takes teamwork, and we couldn’t have done it
without you! You send us great kids every morning and you
reinforce at home what we work on here at school.
Finally, I’ll ask you to help me out in this way: when you and your
children return to campus in the coming weeks, please join me in
taking some time to congratulate our teachers and staff for an
outstanding ’06-’07, and wish them well for a fantastic ’07-’08. It
means very much to folks working in schools, whether we’re
teachers or nurses or assistants or librarians or secretaries, when
we’re encouraged and supported by you.
