One of the School District of Brown Deer's Strategic Goals is to foster an engaged and supportive community - and we help build community through transparent, two-way communication. The School District of Brown Deer has many forms of communication for students, families, staff and the greater community:

WEBSITE - Our School District of Brown Deer website, browndeerschools.com, has individual websites for each of our three schools, as well as district-level information. Each school has its own calendar with only that school's events. You also can go to the district calendar to see events from all three schools combined. Schools also have their own staff directories.

SKYWARD - Our student/family portal allows you to check student balances, grades and assignments, receive lunch notifications and more.

MESSAGES - We use Skylert to send emails, texts and phone calls to district families. Please make sure your school always has your current contact information in case we need to reach you in an emergency or alert you to an inclement weather school closing.

PEACHJAR - Our free eflyer system sends flyers directly to parent/guardian email. Please click "Peachjar" to create an account. We also post all Peachjar flyers on our website, where you can filter to see just the flyers for your children's school(s). Flyers include upcoming events, parent letters, extracurricular opportunities, schedules and more.

SOCIAL MEDIA - Engage with us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to see the latest District and School news and celebrations. See our SOCIAL MEDIA DIRECTORY for additional social media accounts to follow.
