Principal's Message
Dear Brown School Family,
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I want to express my gratitude for everyone working to make student engagement and learning their top priority. I thank:
* Our students and families for making daily participation during NTI a priority since they know this helps them do well in the classroom and eventually in a career.
* Our wonderful teachers who pour their energy into making each virtual classroom an exciting place for exploration and knowledge so students do not want to miss out on learning.
* Our support staff members who provide the extra hands, communication, and attention our students need.
I appreciate each one of you so much.
Since next week is a short week, there will not be a newsletter. I want to take this opportunity to wish you a happy Thanksgiving. May your holiday be filled with fun, meaningful moments and abundance.
Warm regards,
Dr. Angela, Principal

Problem: We have received calls about Chromebooks acting a little strange. Reports like the it won't power on or Google Meet kicks me out.
Solution: Begin the Powerwashing process. This removes profiles, resets the device and installs the newest Chrome OS version. I may sound complicated, but it is super easy. Click HERE for how-to steps.
If you are having technical difficulties, please visit the Tech@Brown website it offers various ways to get help, and is linked off of our homepage under both PARENT and STUDENT.
