A message about our MakerSpace...

  Brassfield Families,

    This year we would love to have our scholars have the materials they need in the Maker Space, so they can dream, design, build, and learn.  

    We have assigned each grade level to collect a recycled item and  a donated classroom an item. We welcome any support you can give us in stocking up the Maker Space!

    If you have items you would like to donate please drop off to Stacy Kessler in room 117.  I will keep inventory of the Maker Space materials and communicate with your child’s homeroom teacher when we have enough of an item and when we are in need of them.

    We all appreciate your support and commitment to our learning at Brassfield.

    Please check out this list (link) to see what your child’s homeroom has been assigned..

     Thank you,

                                                  Stacy Kessler

We are so excited to get the 2018-2019 school year started.  A few things to note:

D.O.T. (Binder's) will be coming home this week. Be on the look out. LOTS of resources. Look at your leisure. There is A LOT of stuff. As we work on things throughout the year we will highlight information. All your child's log in's will also be kept in here as well. This also serves as our data notebook and assessments will be kept here as well. It is a great portfolio for your child as they progress through the year. 

Please let me know if you need anything. You can send a note on the Communication Log in your child's D.O.T. binder or email me at kchern@gmail.com. Looking forward to an amazing year.
