Mrs. Hunter-Blake's News and Notes
Volume 1, Issue 22
February 1, 2021
Vision: At Brandywine Elementary, we encompass a commitment to excellence in order to ensure that scholars become lifelong learner by creating an inclusive and unified environment for educational creativity, growth and innovation.
Academic Excellence and Achievement Every Scholar, Every Class, Every Day!
Can you believe it is the 2nd Semester of the Year?
As we embark on a successful completion of the second half of the school year, there are some new points we must consider. As you know, Governor Hogan addressed the state last week calling for schools to reopen. I know many of you were concerned when you heard this request. However, please note that our direction comes directly from the executive leadership for Prince George's County Public Schools. While we await further direction from our Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Monica Goldson, we want to gather preliminary data from our families. Take a moment to complete the school-based survey (linked below and shared directly with you via Dojo). Please complete it no later than Friday, February 5, 2021. You will need to complete the survey for each child who attends Brandywine Elementary School.
It is important to note that this preliminary data is being used to assist the Mighty Bulldog Leadership Team in preparation of school reopening in the near future. I cannot stress enough that we are merely being proactive to get a pulse on our community so that we can make informed decisions should the schools reopen soon.
BES Community Pulse Check: Preliminary Reopening Survey
I will address the results during the next PTA meeting. THANK YOU in advance for providing us this valuable feedback.
