WELCOME TO BREWSTER SCHOOLS
Dear Parents and Students: On behalf of the Board, Staff and Administration, I want to welcome you to a new school year! I
expect each student and family will have a successful and enjoyable experience while attending Brewster Schools. Each year we provide you with school information that we feel is valuable and helpful in order to make the school year progress as smoothly as possible. This handbook contains certain information that is asked about most often. There are many more written rules, regulations, laws and school policies that are available for you to review should you choose to do so. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or are uncertain about situations that occur throughout the year. We are here to ensure each of you the best quality education possible. The bar has been raised at Brewster and together we will strive to always Take the High Road! Shelly P. Angelos, Pre-K-12 Principal/Superintendent
BREWSTER SCHOOL MISSION STATEMENT
Working together. We will establish within a safe and caring environment,
a place where students gain knowledge, grow in wisdom and develop confidence while building a strong foundation for lifelong learning
and civic responsibility
GUIDELINES & EXPECTATIONS - RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
As students of the Brewster School, you can expect to be provided with the opportunity for a high quality education. This is your right. To preserve that right for your fellow students, you have the responsibility to conduct yourself in a manner that is conducive to maintaining a safe and quality learning environment. In school, as in society, personal success is a direct reflection of how well one recognizes their own and other's rights, accepts responsibility...and makes good choices.
