Attention Bus Riders:
If you are on Ryan’s bus route, please note that he is currently running the route in the opposite direction from last year due to changes in ridership. This means if your student was first dropped off last year, they will be dropped off last this year. Please be mindful that we are still working out the details.

Parents and students:
We wanted to remind you that school starts on Thursday, August 14. We will have a 2:00 pm dismissal on Thursday. Additionally, the State of Illinois is leaning toward banning cell phones in Illinois Schools. We are not following the potential ban at this time. However, we will be limiting cell phone usage in our school.
High School students may have their phones during lunchtime and during academic support time for those who qualify. This applies to high school students only and NO device that can function as/like as smartphone may be brought to school (smartwatches or similar devices.
Phones may be secured in lockers or the student's vehicle. The school will assume no responsibility for lost or misplaced personal devices. Devices will not be allowed to be out in the hallways, classrooms, locker rooms, walking to and from the cafeteria, and bathrooms.
We appreciate your cooperation and assistance in this matter,
Mr. Alli

🚧 Coming Summer 2026! 🚧
Since 2019, the Brownstown Board of Education has been working on solutions to address the overcrowding at Brownstown Elementary — we’re bursting at the seams!
We’re excited to announce the addition of six new classrooms and a breezeway to connect the two buildings with a brand-new structure being constructed between the Elementary and Jr./Sr. High School. 🎉
The Board has approved Fulk Construction, a proud Brownstown company, to lead the project. The new space will also become the future home of our music and art programs! 🎶🎨
📐 Enclosed is a rough mock-up of what the new building will look like.
Stay tuned for updates as we grow to better serve our students and community! 💙💛
