Dear Family,

As we approach the end of the 1st trimester on November 8th, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for your support and involvement in your child's education. It's hard to believe how quickly time has flown by!

This trimester has been filled with a lot of learning and growth for our students. I appreciate all that you do to encourage your child at home.

Thank you for being an important part of our school community!

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.

LCAP Survey 2024-2025

We have received responses from 60% of our families regarding the Uniform Survey. If you have not yet completed the survey, we kindly ask you to do so at your earliest convenience. Your feedback is essential in helping us make informed decisions for our students.

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.

Our lost and found is overflowing with sweaters and other items. If your child has misplaced a sweater or any other belongings, please take a moment to check the lost and found.

Please note that any items not picked up by November 8th will be donated. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and for helping us keep our school organized.

As we enter November, a month dedicated to gratitude, I want to take a moment to thank you for your continued support. Our staff members are deeply encouraged by receiving notes of appreciation from families like yours.

If you would like to show your appreciation to any of our staff members, please complete the form below. Each note you send can brighten someone's day. We will be accepting notes all month long, and we will present your message in a beautiful note to the staff member.

Thank you for helping us spread kindness and appreciation throughout our school community!
