Bronco Family News August 2023

The Bronco Staff is hard at work preparing for a great 2023-2024 school year. We are looking forward to an outstanding school year where we will learn, grow, and make new friends.

Our mission is to inspire students to embrace their own individuality, creativity, learning, and growth in a collaborative, responsive, and inclusive environment.

We will do this together as the North Broadway Bronco Family, which includes students, families, and staff. Welcome to the family!

New in EUSD!

Our district has embraced elements of a learner-centered model for several years, and now we are prepared to strengthen that model – thanks to the EUSD Framework for the Future – to ensure that we are the district of choice for our families. Professionals from all corners of EUSD have worked collaboratively to lay the foundation for this framework, which sets up our students to actualize their unlimited potential. We are especially excited about the launch of our elementary exploratory wheel, which promises to be rewarding for both our students and our teachers. The wheel will allow students to explore a variety of enrichment activities that may include art, theatre, music, engineering, dance, robotics, and photography. For classroom teachers, the wheel provides valuable collaboration time that will take our lesson design to the next level, ensuring that the engaging instruction occurring throughout our district is differentiated to meet the needs of every student. We look forward to implementing this exciting program here at North Broadway!

Teacher assignments will be viewable through the PowerSchool Parent Portal as of 8/11 at 5:00 PM. If you registered for the EUSD Rooms app last year, teacher assignment information will be viewable. TK/K families will receive a letter by email listing the name of the teacher by the end of the week and details about the Meet and Greet events for TK/K on 8/14. For the first two weeks of school, while students are transitioning and enrollment finalizes, we do not make changes to teacher assignments.

If you need assistance with the EUSD or Rooms app or registration, please contact Ms. Susie or the main office. 760-432-2479
