  • Principal Family Letter for November 2025

    Dear Brooklyn Landmark Families,

    As we step into November, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support of our school and all of our events so far this year. Your presence, encouragement, and partnership continue to make Brooklyn Landmark Elementary School a strong and joyful community.

    Our Character Day celebration was truly amazing! Seeing our scholars light up with excitement and creativity reminded us all why we do this important work. Thank you for helping make it such a memorable experience for everyone.

    As we look ahead to November, we are excited for a month filled with connection and celebration. We begin with Virtual Parent-Teacher Conferences this upcoming Thursday. We will have an 11:30am dismissal. Please ensure you sign up for a time to meet with your scholar’s teacher (s). We have several family meetings planned to continue building strong partnerships, and we’re especially looking forward to our Multi-Cultural Feast, where we will come together as a school family to honor the many cultures and traditions that make our community so special.

    Thank you for your continued support and commitment to our scholars’ success. Together, we are building a school where every child feels seen, valued, and empowered to reach their full potential.

    Please feel free to reach out via email(ginad@brookynlandmark.org) or by phone (347-881-7126) for any questions, suggestions, and support.
