Dear Brentwood Families,
I hope this message finds you well. It is with mixed emotions that I write to inform you of my upcoming transfer to a new position within our school district. This decision comes after much reflection and consideration, and while I am excited about the new opportunities ahead, I will deeply miss the Brentwood community that has been my home for 4 years.
Serving as your principal has been an incredible honor and a profoundly rewarding experience. Together, we have fostered a nurturing environment where our students could thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. I am grateful for the unwavering support and collaboration from our dedicated staff, committed parents, and, most importantly, our amazing students.
As I prepare for this transition, I am confident that the foundation we have built together will continue to flourish. Our school is filled with talented and passionate educators who are dedicated to maintaining the high standards we have set. I am certain that Brentwood will continue to excel and achieve great things.
I want to extend my deepest gratitude to each of you for your trust, support, and partnership over the years. It has been a privilege to be part of such a vibrant and caring community. While I will be moving on to new challenges, I will always carry with me the memories and experiences we have shared.
Please know that I am committed to ensuring a smooth transition and will work closely with the incoming principal to provide any necessary support. Your continued engagement and involvement will be vital in this period of change, and I encourage you to extend the same warm welcome and support to my successor that you have always shown me.
Thank you once again for the opportunity to serve as your principal. I am profoundly grateful for the journey we have shared and look forward to seeing the continued success and growth of Brentwood.
With heartfelt appreciation,
Mr. G. Russell
