NewBrook Elementary School

What NewBrook Elementary School does

NewBrook Elementary School is a public K-5 elementary school located at 14 School St, Newfane, Vermont, serving students from the Newfane portion of the West River Education District (WRED) catchment that also includes Brookline, Townshend, and Jamaica. The school is government-owned and operated under the governance of the WRED Board with administrative services provided by the Windham Central Supervisory Union (WCSU); leadership is headed by Principal Scotty Tabachnick alongside 36 additional full- and part-time faculty and staff. NewBrook operates as a Schoolwide Title I Program and offers universal free meals to all students, with funding flowing through public education allocations, local taxes, and federal Title I — no tuition is charged.

The academic core rests on the Fundations® structured literacy curriculum (K-3) and the Bridges in Mathematics K-5 program, supplemented by a Kodaly-method vocal music program, physical education with FitnessGram assessment, and a Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) framework for social-emotional development. Differentiated programming includes Farm to School (coordinated weekly in classrooms by Amy Duffy), School Forest Mapping (student-created interactive trail maps launched in 2023), Winter Activities (including JISP downhill skiing at Stratton Mountain), Good Sports (parent/volunteer-run athletics), and the WRED Out-of-School Time (WRED OST) program covering after-school and summer offerings such as Summer Rebels and Rebels After the Bell. The technology stack is non-proprietary and standard for U.S. public schools: ParentSquare for family communication, Alma as the Student Information System, Google and Microsoft 365 for SSO, and PayPal for PTO fundraising.

The business model is government-funded K-5 education delivery with no tuition revenue. Distribution is the traditional public school enrollment channel managed by WRED, augmented by active school choice marketing to attract cross-town families. Community engagement functions as the school's primary 'go-to-market' motion, executed through Facebook (main page, Good Sports, and PTO), ParentSquare newsletters, and recurring in-person events including the Harvest Community Dinner/Art Show, Farm and Field Day, and the Science Fair. The Principal Advisory Committee — comprising parents, teachers, community members, and the principal — provides local advisory oversight.
