Expected Schoolwide Learning Results (ESLRs)

Our Expected School-wide Learning Results (ESLRs) are the goals that each student actively pursues during her/his career at Brawerman Elementary School. Adherence to these expectations is a part of our accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). Our accreditation is a voluntary, dual-purpose process that indicates that we provide high-quality learning opportunities and that we demonstrate continual self-improvement.
