Mission Statement

Briarcrest Elementary, located in the southeastern corner of the Shoreline School District, has an enrollment of approximately 475 students in grades K-6. The school, just north of the Seattle city limits, seeks to integrate technology into all aspects of the learning process. All students are encouraged to continually develop their technology skills, including word processing, manipulating graphics and the use of the Internet for research. The school offers physical education classes and vocal music to all students, and an instrumental music program to fifth and sixth graders.

About This Cause

The Briarcrest Staff and I look forward to working with you and your child in creating a learning community where together we make a difference. Whether you are new to our school or returning, you are fortunate to be part of a dedicated, committed, and caring group of students and adults. We need the energy and expertise of the total community to prepare today's young people to become tomorrow's productive and responsible citizens. Our school is committed to ensuring that all students achieve at high levels, and are prepared with the foundational skills essential to future academic and life success. We truly welcome you as partners in achieving our school goals. There are many, many opportunities for parents to be involved – classroom volunteers, conferences, evening events, PTA committees, Cut ‘n’ Chat – all of which make Briarcrest a supportive and engaging environment for our children. We will be continuing our WatchDOGS (Dads of Great Students) program during the 2014-2015 school year, which “organizes fathers and father figures in order to provide positive male role models for the students”. We have had over 150 volunteers in the program, and I look forward to our kickoff event this fall! At Briarcrest, we believe that "The Future is in our Paws". I encourage you to contact me if you have any questions or suggestions for our school. Please review this handbook with your child to help you get ready for an excellent school year.
