Brent Elementary Welcomes K - 5th Students Tomorrow!

8/19/2018

Dear Brent Community,

The first day of school is just hours away and we have been busy with the last details of classroom set up, construction clean up, and the thoughtful planning needed to ensure our students have a safe and joyous launch to their year!

We also want to make sure you are informed about the details of the day and this letter aims to provide you with all the information you need. Even if you are a returning Brent Bear, please review these notes as some procedures have changed or are new this year.

Brent ES - 2018-2019 Class Rosters

To the Brent Families,

The Brent faculty has dedicated an immense amount of time and energy to
our class development process. Teaching teams took into account
individual student needs through multiple lenses (effective and ineffective
co-learners, academic strengths and growth areas, social development,
gender, ethnicity, and parent input) to create balanced classroom
communities for the coming year. After receiving those class lists, the
Brent administration reviewed the composition of students and teachers,
making minor adjustments to incorporate new students or to accommodate
for unexpected classroom changes. We returned these lists to teachers for
a final review and voila
–
published lists!

As you can see, classes were composed using an extensive amount of
thought and input to ensure that the best placement for each and every
student. lf you note something unexpected (such as an imbalance in
gender or class numbers), please know that it was a reasoned decision
(there may have been a grade-level imbalance in genders or an extra
instructional adult will be present in that classroom).

I hope that you and your child(ren) will be excited to discover this year's
teacher(s) and classmates, and l am confident in all of our teachers' ability
to foster academic growth, social development and community in their
classrooms. As such, I ask that placements remain for six weeks before
considering changes, and we will work together to assuage any concerns
in the meantime. However, if there are misspellings or omitted students,
please let me know and we will rectify the situation immediately.
Please also take a moment to review our new faculty pictures and bios on
the Brent website as they are posted over the coming days. We are
privileged to have a skilled and consistent group of Brent faculty returning
to our community for another year and to have several new additions to
match our growth!

Sincerely,

Norah Lycknell
