Baby Kate Costa has arrived and Mr. Branch is here to help.

Dear Brassfield Families, Good afternoon. I am Dr. Kenneth A. Branch, the interim principal at Brassfield Elementary School.  I have been asked to step in while Ms. Stephanie Costa is on leave with new daughter. It's a pleasure to join the Brassfield family for the next couple of months. I am an experienced WCPSS principal at both the elementary and middle school levels.   Since retiring several years ago, I've stayed  busy with work as an interim, mentor, and trainer.   I've also enjoyed opportunities in non-public  education at the secondary and post-secondary level.   At this point, the plan is for me to serve the Brassfield  community until January 17, 2020.  Please know that  I am a 70% employee.  The office team has my calendar  and will always know when to expect me on campus.     I will be introducing myself to your children by video today  and tomorrow.  I hope they are able to report a favorable first  impression! Again, I am delighted to be at Brassfield and look forward  to serving this community in the coming weeks. Respectfully, Kenneth A. Branch, Ed.D., Interim Principal
