Parent-Teacher Conferences
Parents, guardians, and caregivers are invited to connect with their child’s teachers, ask questions, and learn more about how they’re doing in school.
The Brown School, Somerville’s oldest elementary school, offers a close-knit, family atmosphere focused on helping students thrive academically and personally while developing into positive, productive members of society. Serving grades K–5, the school provides rich learning opportunities, including an extended-hours library/media center, teacher-led clubs, and strong participation in music programs such as string, band, and chorus. Supported by an active Parent/Teacher Association, the Brown fosters a vibrant, engaging community that enhances both student learning and school life.
