........ IMPORTANT CHANGES TO CAMPUS .......


This message is to advise you of an important change to our campus. After careful consideration it has been decided that our campus safety would increase with the gym parking lot closed during the school day.

Beginning Tuesday, January 22nd, the back gym parking lot will be closed after morning drop off, promptly at 8:45am, and then will reopen for student pick up at 2:35pm. This will allow you to continue to drop off your student and pick up your student, while providing a safer campus for all Bruins during the school day. Please remember during drop off and pick up time you may not park in the traffic lane. Traffic must continue through the loop or you may park in a designated space.

Once again to be proactive and protect our Bruins, the back gym parking lot will be closed daily from 8:45am-2:35pm beginning Tuessday, January 22nd.


Buenas tardes, este es un mensaje de la sub directora de la secundaria Brownell. Este mensaje es para avisar de un cambio importante en la escuela. Después de cuidadosamente considerar se ha decidió que el estacionamiento del gimnasio será serado durante las horas escolares.

Comenzando el jueves 17 de enero, el estacionamiento del gimnasio será serado después de que dejen a sus estudiantes en la escuela 8:45 am, and será reabierto a las 2:35.

Pertussis Requirement

Students entering 7th grade in 2013 - 2014 will need proof of a pertussis booster shot (whooping cough, called Tdap on or after their 7th birthday BEFORE starting school. Please check your Childs immunization records and if he/she has had one, bring proof to your school immediately. If he/she has not received one, make an appointment today and bring proof to the school as soon as your child receives it.

Your child will not be allowed to start school in August without proof of a Tdap given after the 7th birthday.

6th Grade Science Camp Decision

To our 6th Grade Families:

You might have heard that Brownell will not be having a Science Camp this year.  This is true.  In fact, none of the three middle schools will be sponsoring a Science Camp.  But it isn’t because we do not want to. We consider Science Camp a wonderful educational experience for our students.  But, with continual budget cuts, school days slashed and more put upon teachers with less and less compensation while expectations continue to rise, an endeavor as time consuming and expensive as Science Camp just isn’t a feasible activity for the middle schools to take on. 

Our Parent Club is very disappointed but also somewhat relieved as they have become more a Science Camp Club then a Parent Club.  And we do have two other grade levels and teachers that they wish to help and support.  We are always optimistic and have hope for the future, but it is dependent on the financial solvency of the State and budgets of  Gilroy Unified.  Thank you for your understanding.   –Greg Camacho-Light
