February 23rd, 2026

We had a fabulous week here in Tigerland. Some of our students had the opportunity to watch Suessical, put on by the PRHS drama classes. Our 7th graders and half of the 4th graders learned off campus at the Learn by Doing Lab at Cal Poly, which provided an amazing hands-on experience.
We finish up our 2nd trimester on Friday and will begin the final trimester of the school year.
This week, our 2nd-grade classes will present El Gran Capoquero Play. We’ll also hold our PBIS Tolerance Party and a Parent Orientation for prospective incoming TK/Kinder families. It will be another great week at Georgia Brown.

Parent-Teacher Conferences are around the corner. They will take place March 9th-13th. TK-3rd-grade parents, please reach out ot your child's teacher if you have not scheduled conferences.

School Needs Assessment

As we draft our 2026-2027 School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which is a yearly plan outlining how we aim to improve outcomes for all students, including and especially our most vulnerable (English learners, socioeconomically disadvantaged, students with disabilities, foster, and unhoused), we seek your input. Please take time to complete the survey. We greatly appreciate your feedback.
