Brentwood Elementary School

Dear Brentwood Elementary School parents / guardians,

 I wanted to contact you directly this afternoon to inform you of an upcoming change at Brentwood Elementary School. 

 Ms. Shirley Elm was looking forward to a wonderful year ahead as your Principal at Brentwood, but certain life circumstances have resulted in her needing to take a Leave of Absence beginning on Mon Nov 5^th.  The leave is for an indefinite time period.

 I am pleased at this time to announce that Mr. Mark Guiguet (retired Elementary Principal and former Vice-Principal at Brentwood) has agreed to return to our District as acting-Principal at Brentwood.  Mark is very familiar with the community having been at the school between 2010 and 2012.  He will join the Brentwood team effective Nov 19^th and is available for as long as we require him.   In the two weeks before his arrival, Ms. Sara Jolivet (Vice-Principal) will be moved to a full-time administration assignment.

 While I understand that any change is disruptive, our goal throughout this transition was to find a solution that minimizes the impact on the entire school.  I do acknowledge that there will be some disruption so I thank you for your understanding as we work to make this transition as smooth as possible. 

 I know that you join me in wishing Ms. Elm well in her upcoming Leave of Absence.

Sincerely,
