“Growing Minds, Building Hearts, Shaping Futures”

 At Browning Elementary School, we are committed to “Growing Minds, Building Hearts, Shaping Futures.” Grounded in our mission to nurture curious, confident, and capable learners, we will consistently implement a common set of best practices—Project Read, intentional questioning, and small group instruction—across Pre-Kindergarten through Second Grade. Our goal is to strengthen reading comprehension and writing outcomes for every student. Progress will be measured using EL Assessments, the Pre-K Performance Checklist, and the parish-based writing assessment, ensuring all students leave second grade with strong skills, strong character, and a strong sense of self.
