• Improved performance levels when
comparing the percentage of students
in 2018 scoring a 3 or higher than those
in 2016, unless the district has already

The professional teaching staff has
worked extremely hard on preparing
themselves in their respective subject
areas and preparing the students for the
exam. The teachers have been involved
with professional development which has
addressed AP content as well as test taking
strategies to share with the students.
STEAM teacher, worked with students
to create a replica of the constellations.
Students worked in groups to research,
create, and code for each constellation.
Using Hummingbird Robotics kits,
students were able to illuminate their
projects by coding their LED lights to
glow, change colors, and blink! To see their
constellations in action, follow our STEAM

What Makes the
Brentwood Community Great!
In third grade students
have been learning about the
Brentwood Community and the
different departments that make
up a community. With the help
of Mrs. Rittiger and Mrs. Smeltz,
students researched and explored
information for the departments
of Fire, Police, EMS, Parks and
Recreation, Library, Brentwood
Towne Center, and the Brentwood
school district. Students then
created a Google slideshow
presenting their findings to their
class on the purpose, location and
features found in each department.
The students enjoyed learning new
information about why Brentwood
is a great community and a
wonderful place to live!
