Message From the Superintendent

May 2024

It’s going to be fun to watch the facilities improvements in action this summer!  Projects will total more than $3.2 million and all are grant funded! They include: 

• New roofing for the main building 
• Asbestos abatement and new flooring throughout the building 
• Regulation sized basketball court on our playground 
• Replacement of our largest piece of playground equipment. 
• Major electrical upgrades 
• 2 generators that will come on immediately when the power goes out 
• High quality, energy efficient lighting was installed over spring break

We will be administering a state-required assessment in May.  Year after year, our students have the highest scores in the greater area.  We are very proud of their academic progress and I know their families are, too. 

We will close out our school year with: 

• All-staff appreciate week May 6- 10 – we encourage you to take the time to tell a staff member thank you!
• Outdoor education at Camp Parsons for all students 
• Field day on June 6 
• 8th grade promotion on June 11 at 6:00 p.m. 
• Last day of school, June 14 

I am thankful to be able to spend my days at the Brinnon School with our amazing students and school family.  In classrooms, I enjoy seeing students being kind, helpful and supportive in their interactions with students and staff.  Classrooms are busy and productive.  We are proud of our school.   

I appreciate the support of our families and community.  Please reach out if you would like to visit our school or volunteer at one of our upcoming events. 

Go Bobcats!
