BROWNSTONE RE-START PLAN

Brownstone provides quality differentiated educational services to PreK-8th grade students in a therapeutic setting. We strive to offer structured, challenging, and high-interest based activities within the framework of approved NJ Student Learning Standards. Through parent collaboration and effective partnerships, we engage our students in the learning process by preparing them for academic and life-long personal success.

As principal of the Brownstone School, it is my pleasure to welcome everyone back for another fun filled year of learning. Learning is a process of gaining new knowledge, understanding, developing skills and behaviors, values, attitudes, and preferences. It is our goal here at Brownstone to inspire positive attributes to our students to make them 21 Century Learners and contributors to society.

The overwhelming use of social media has created a new generation of learners. Teachers and staff need to create an environment where children feel safe and are recognized for their abilities. Our students face many challenges and providing them with the skills where they care for each other and strive to build positive relationships that promote academic and social growth is our goal. Using meaningful lessons that engage the students in learning and our schoolwide behavior programs are both instrumental in maintaining the students on task.

It is our mission to help every child succeed, feel connected to the learning, and make our school a place where every child belongs. We will continue to focus on our instructional practices and continue to utilize research-based strategies that promote growth and student achievement.

Let us have another great year at Brownstone!

Sincerely,

David Perez, Ed. D

Principal
