Message from Principal Mysliwiec

Hi Brown Families,

I wanted to send a friendly reminder to all families who drop off or pick up students that cars are not permitted in the front parking lot during the following times:

Morning: 8:15 AM to 8:40 AM
Afternoon: 3:20 PM to 4:00 PM

A good rule of thumb to remember is if you see a bus in the front parking lot, please do not enter.

We have noticed some vehicles entering the front parking lot to use it as an alternative exit from the student pick-up area. While I understand everyone is trying to get in and out as quickly as possible, this creates a safety concern for our bus drivers and students.

Please make sure you are following the designated drop-off and pick-up procedures and keeping the front parking lot clear during these times.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep all of our Brown Elementary students, staff, and families safe during arrival and dismissal!

Tina Mysliwiec

Halloween Parade & Party: October 30 from 10:20-10:45am

Parent Attendance Information

Brown Elementary will hold its annual Halloween Parade at 10:20 a.m. on Friday, October 30. All students will exit the school and walk around the large playground loop, and we’re excited to invite parents and guardians to come watch and enjoy the fun! The playground gate will open at 10:15 a.m., so you can enter and find a spot before the parade begins.

After the parade, students will return inside to begin their classroom Halloween parties. Please note that only parent volunteers who are helping with their child’s classroom party will be permitted to enter the building.

If you are parking in the township parking lot please park in the lower lot only. Thank you for your cooperation.

Costumes

Students may wear their costumes to school that day.
If your child’s costume is difficult to wear on the bus or in the car, they may bring it to school and change before the parade.
Please leave all toy weapons and dangerous props (such as toy guns, knives, bats, etc.) at home—these are not allowed at school at any time.
Costumes should be school-appropriate for elementary students. Please avoid scary or violent themes, blood/gore, or full-face Halloween masks.

Attendance

If your student will be absent or needs to leave early for an appointment please contact the teacher along with our attendance email: brattendance@bcpsk12.net

When reporting your child's absence, please remember to include the reason they will not be attending school. Whether your child is sick, has an appointment, or is absent for another reason, providing this information helps us keep accurate attendance records. This information is also used as we make plans to deep clean and disinfect rooms throughout the building.
