MONDAY AFTERNOON LETTER TO THE COMMUNITY 

This is the letter that will go out to the community on Monday afternoon. Admin will let you know if any of your student will bee involved and provide an update on the supervision plan. 
**REMINDER: Do not encourage or discourage participation!! Share our plan and refer questions to the admin team. 

Dea Brownsville Families,
As you may know, two nationwide events are planned in which students across the country are
 being asked to walk out of school to protest gun violence in schools.The first event is a scheduled
 national school walk out this next Wednesday, March 14 @ 10:00 a.m.  Event organizers have asked
 students to walk out of school for 17 minutes.The second protest is scheduled for April 20 at 
10:00 a.m.  During this event, students are being asked to leave school for the remainder of the day.
We expect these events mostly will impact secondary schools. Brownsville Elementary will operate
 on a normal schedule. If you have discussed this with your child, and they plan to participate on
 Wednesday March 14th, please notify the principal so that we can make arrangements for supervision.
 Contact Mr. Crutchfield by phone, (434) 823-4658 or email, jcrutchfield@k12albemarle.org.
Students who plan to participate in the event on April 20th will need to be signed out by their parents
 or guardians.
It is important for you to know that teachers and administrators at Brownsville will neither encourage
nor discourage these protests.  Our goal is to keep students safe.
ACPS respects the rights of all students to engage in peaceful protests and express their opinions
 through speech and other ways as long as it is done respectfully, does not interfere with the rights
 of others, and does not disrupt learning in the school.
Sincerely,
Jason Crutchfield, principal 
TPA PROGRESS
Except for the few exceptions, TPA forms in Talent Ed should bee up to date and ready for the final 
appraisal process. Take a look and let us know if you need anything. A reminder that novice and 
non-tenured teachers should expect unannounced observations in the upcoming weeks. 

5th GRADER MADISON ANDERSON
Congratulations! Brownsville student Madison Anderson has been named a winner in the Bus Lines Poetry Contest! The Bus Lines Poetry Reading at the Virginia Festival of the Book will take place on March 21 at 6:00 p.m. at the Downtown Transit Station on Water Street. We invite everyone to come and hear these fine poets present their work.  There will be light refreshments afterwards. The poems will be printed on posters and placed on city buses and will also be placed in the Special Collections Library at UVA. 


UPDATES ON DEBBIE AND PHUL

We are so sorry that we have not updated you on Debbie Gibson. She is back and all healed from a bad fall late last year. She was able to keep the accident quiet, but we are happy that she is back with us. 

Phul was out for a couple of weeks because of the cutie below. Congrats to you and your family, Phul!
