Bulldogs Families: We're Moving Back to Our Newly Renovated Building!
Great News: Brownell STEM Academy Renovations Are Complete and We're Moving Back!
We are excited to announce that our scholars will be moving back to our newly renovated Brownell STEM Academy building on November 4th, 2024! As we prepare for this significant transition, we remain committed to our overarching theme of "RE-ENERGIZING THE PRIDE, RENOVATING THE PLANS, REBUILDING THE POSSIBILITIES, and REPURPOSING FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE." This move represents a major milestone in shaping bright futures for all our learners.
As we return to Brownell STEM Academy, we want to ensure a smooth transition for both our families and scholars. Please take a moment to review the enclosed map, which highlights the updated layout for bus lanes, car access drives, parking lots, elementary drop-off/pickup areas, and the entry to the Early Childhood wing. These changes have been thoughtfully designed to improve safety and efficiency during arrival and dismissal.
If the return date changes due to circumstances beyond our control, we will notify you as soon as possible. Please make sure to check our website, mobile app notifications, and social media for the most up-to-date information as November 4th approaches.
We are excited to see our scholars in their newly renovated spaces and look forward to continuing to support their learning and growth in this refreshed environment. If you have any questions about the transition, transportation, or other concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
Thank you for your continued partnership, and we look forward to seeing you soon!
Warm regards,
Dr. Shamarion Grace
Principal, Brownell STEM Academy
