Welcome to Branch Elementary School and the 2012-2013 school year. Filled with new teachers, old and new friends, and forever remembered learning experiences, Branch Elementary School continues its excellence in education providing strong academics in the core curriculum and 21^st century skills. Branch continues to be successful because of its people. Strong teachers. Supportive parents. Striving students. At Branch, high student academic achievements as well as strong character are expected. At Branch, this is modeled and witnessed in integrity and teamwork. Branch Elementary School also continues to be the elementary leader in science and innovation designing, developing, and implementing the science curriculum and lab. The year will be filled with students learning the in-depth contributions of Leonardo da Vinci and Albert Einstein through hands-on activities in an inquisitive and curious atmosphere. Thank-you to all the supporters and contributors who continue to make the science lab a great place for young scientists. Thank-you also to our parent teacher organization. We appreciate your invested time, talent, and treasure.

Again, welcome to Branch Elementary School.
