Principal Post

Dear Bromwell Families,

Wow, what a week/month/year at Bromwell! For some of you, this is the last Principal Post that you’ll get from me. For others, you have years still at Bromwell to look forward to, and of course, some of you are in between. Regardless, I have very much enjoyed spending the last school year with your child, and am proud beyond words at what we all have accomplished as a community this school year.

I just reread my first Principal Post of this school year, full of anticipation for our first year back to “normal” since March of 2020. Our Staff was planning for a school year full of academic, social, emotional, and physical growth, and with hard work and dedication of our entire team of students and staff, we achieved it! Every grade level saw significant academic improvement in both literacy and math, but perhaps more importantly, our Bears made lifelong friendships, personal discoveries, and grew by leaps and bounds emotionally.

And yet, of course, our job is not complete. We will take a rest this summer, spend time with our families, and come back ready to be the best students, friends, classmates, teammates, and teachers we can be. If this is your last year at Bromwell, we wish you the absolute best. If we will see you in August, we can’t wait.

My best,

Valecia von Weise
