Dear Families,
Welcome
to 5th grade at Brassfield Elementary School! We are so excited to be a part of your
child’s education this year. Fifth grade
is filled with many new learning experiences, opportunities, and
responsibilities. We are here to help
your child reach for the stars and grow both academically and socially during
their last year at Brassfield.
We believe that maintaining open
communication with home is one of the best ways to help your child have a
successful year! You will be receiving class
newsletters twice a month filled with information about what’s happening in the
classroom, including what we are studying and important dates. This will be posted on our class blogs that
can be found at http://brassfield.wcpss.net/pages/Brassfield_Elementary. You will also find great websites to
match our curriculum, important announcements, notices, and forms. In addition,
feel free to personally contact us! E-mail
is the best way to communicate, as we check e-mail daily. Please allow 24 hours for a response. We can be reached at:
Also, please feel free to write a note.
Thanks so much for your support! Here’s to a fantastic fifth grade year!
Sincerely,
Kelly Topoll and Ellen BeyerJ
