  • I am excited to welcome you to the start of the 2023-24 school year! As we prepare to return to our schools and classrooms in just a little over two weeks, I want to express my excitement and enthusiasm for another year of joyful learning and extraordinary education. I especially want to welcome the newest members of our community and the many educators, families, and students who have all recently arrived in Brookline. From our ongoing work in the multi-year strategic plan, changes to our website, and a renewed focus on culture and equity, I look forward to helping you make PSB a vibrant and supportive space for everyone!
