Hi Bobcats! Just in case we get another round of freezing weather, let's make sure to take care and come dressed appropriately as we don't want our Bobcats getting cold outside at recess, walking to and from school, waiting at the bus stops or at PE! Check out the image so we can ensure proper clothing for our Nation! If you or know someone who needs a winter jacket, please let your teacher or the front office know, and we can assist with finding proper resources!

We’re excited to invite all parents and families to our Literacy Night on January 30, 2025, from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM.
It will be an evening full of fun activities to inspire a love of reading and learning! Don’t miss out on this wonderful opportunity to engage with your child's education and discover ways to support their literacy development.

Good Morning Bobcat Nation!!!
Our Bobcats are winning everyday!
They are receiving a world class education from some of the most dedicated educators in the district!
Few reminders about report cards and PM2 FAST state testing.
- Paper report cards go home Monday-today.
- Please sign report cards and return immediately.
You can also access report card details in Focus. However, we decided as a school, that a paper copy is another great way to communicate progress. Signed copies are old school, but it holds our bobcats accountable for their work.
This week (Wednesday and Thursday) we have state FAST testing. We need your support. Please give your child a generous breakfast, turn off or take away electronics and have them in bed by 9pm. And give them words of encouragement! Equally important...:BE ON TIME. If they are late they will not be able to test with their class.
WE cannot do this alone. Together we can make a difference!!
Please like and follow us on Facebook so you can share in some of the amazing events that happen at Don Brewer!

Hey Bobcat Nation! Be sure to invite friends and neighbors with elementary-age children to visit us Dec. 7 for School Showcase Saturday.
Amazing school experiences are happening throughout our district, and while we may be a little biased, we think the best experience is here at Don Brewer.
