Brown Bears

Dear Families,

There are only TWO more weeks left of school. I encourage you to check the school calendar and read any updates from your classroom teacher for important dates and activities. There are end of year classroom activities, Field Day, celebrations, and more. Please check out both the school calendar as well as the PTO website for more info.

*It should be noted that Field Day is a not a spectator event this year. If you would like to participate, please sign up as a volunteer below.

**Also, there is a PTO End of Year Celebration on June 7th from 6:00 to 8:00pm. This is a great opportunity to enjoy some food, fun and music with all of your Brown friends before we head out for summer! Check it out on the PTO website below!

Best,

Aidan McCann, Principal

1 - CORIs

I'm thinking about the end of the year and the number of opportunities there are for parents to come into the building and help out in the classroom. In order to do so, any visiting adult must have an updated CORI on file. Please know that these do take a few days to run, and without this CORI, you may not be able to come in and be a part of the activities. Please take a moment to check and see if your CORI is updated.

2 - ROSPS

Reports of Student Progress (ROSPs) will be available for viewing for families on Friday, June 14th at 3:00pm. I encourage you to sit down with your child and review the form and look at the progress students have made over the course of the year.

3 - 4th to 5th GRADE TRANSITION

Each year our 4th grade team and the KMS team collaborate to put together a transition process for our 4th grade students as they get ready to enter the 5th grade. I am sharing the transition timeline here so that you can see what happens over the next few months that will help students wrap up their time here at Brown and begin their new adventure at KMS.

4 - LAST DAY is a half day

Our last day of school is Friday, June 14th. It is a half-day with a release time of 12:15. Please mark your calendars with this day/time so that we can ensure all students are safe and accounted for at the end of the day.

5 - NATICK SUMMER PROGRAMS

Students will enjoy week-long courses for enrichment, exploration, and fun–right here in Natick! The Summer Enrichment and Summer Scholars programs will allow your children to explore their interests and help prevent summer slide. Pre-approved students are welcomed into the Extended School Year (ESY) program and the High School Credit Recovery Program. Our Strength and Conditioning Program provides dynamic exercises and drills from some of the best coaches in the area.

Registration through Active.com is open now. Our popular Summer Enrichment program courses include Cooking, Arts and Crafts, Pondology, Chemistry, Sports, and much more. Students from rising Kindergarteners up through rising 8th graders are grouped by grade level.

NEW THIS YEAR: All participants in Summer Enrichment and Summer Scholars will receive a complete schedule of classes (subject to availability) running from 8:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. every day. Join us this summer! Access our dedicated website for more information.

All the best to our families,

Aidan McCann, Principal
