We are on a very tight timeline with our CSIP Needs Assessment this year. The public release of our accountability data was last Thursday, and we need the Needs Assessment to be reviewed by SBDM on Monday, October 26th. With that being said, we can make changes to it after October 26th as it will not be going for approval until December 14th. However, we need your feedback now.
In reviewing our datasets from the past 2-3 years, what feedback to you have on the linked draft assessment? Please complete the form below to share any feedback or suggested revisions you may have that should be incorporated before the first SBDM review of the document.

Students should bring a FULL water bottle with them to school tomorrow for Field Day. Right now, tomorrow is forecasted to be a beautiful day with temperatures in the mid-60s. In the event it is sunny or rainy, please plan accordingly with sunscreen or rainwear. If elementary students elected to not partake in a school-provided sack lunch, they will need to pack accordingly. Please have your student wear comfortable clothing and older closed-toe shoes as Waterfront Park is a public outdoor area with both grass and pavement.
Thank you so much for your help in making this Brown School tradition successful for your student!

We are proud to honor the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino, Latina, and Latinx Americans throughout our schools.
Follow along all month for stories and highlights from across JCPS!
