Dear Georgia Brown Family,

Thank you for an amazing fiesta last Thursday! It was a wonderful event where our Georgia Brown Family enjoyed time together. We estimate that we had about 600 attendees, and it was truly a joy to see everyone come together. This event was made possible thanks to our dedicated parents, PTO, and staff. Your support and involvement are what make Georgia Brown such a fantastic community. Looking forward to more great events ahead!

We are seeking site representatives to participate in our LCAP Parent Advisory Committee this year. The first LCAP meeting will be on November 18th at 5:00 p.m. in the District Office Board Room. Please complete the survey if you are interested in being Georgia Brown's representative in the LCAP Advisory Committee.

I wanted to provide you with an update on the ongoing discussions around a potential uniform policy. First and foremost, I want to emphasize that the decision to move forward with a uniform policy is a school-based decision, not a district-wide initiative. This is something that Georgia Brown's parents have initiated and we are working to gather input to determine if there is enough parent interest to move forward.

Last year, a survey was sent out to gauge interest in discussing a uniform policy. At that time, there was a strong interest expressed. However, we currently have fewer than 100 responses, and in order to move forward, we need to see nearly 100% of the Georgia Brown parent community complete the survey, with at least 90% indicating a desire to do so.

The survey will remain open for the next 2 weeks, and the final results will be communicated on November 1st. I encourage you to take a few minutes to complete the survey and share your thoughts on this important matter. Thank you for your time and consideration. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Parent University Session on the Seal of Biliteracy. During this session, I will also discuss the Biliteracy Pathway Recognitions for 6th and 8th graders in the DI program. The Seal of Biliteracy is available to any senior who demonstrates proficiency in two or more languages. It's never too early to start considering this recognition as we continue to encourage the benefits of bilingualism and multilingualism.

Maestra Quintana's class had 98.5% attendance this week! Thank you for being here every day!

Maestra Zepeda and Maestra Delgado had the highest percentage of spirit wear! Way to go Tigers!

As mention previously, our classes have been working on learning about different Spanish speaking countries. Check out the pictures below of the door decorations they did!

I am pleased to inform you that Volunteer Packets are now available online.
