Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! It is an incredible honor to serve as the Principal of Brewerton Elementary School. As a longtime member of this community, a graduate of Paul V. Moore High School, and the parent of children who attended Brewerton, this role is especially meaningful to me. I am truly grateful for the warm welcome I have received and excited to partner with our students, families, and staff.

With more than 19 years in education as a school psychologist, assistant principal, and principal, I have always believed that every child can learn and deserves to feel welcomed, supported, and valued at school. At Brewerton, we are committed to creating a positive, welcoming, and academically engaging environment where every student is encouraged to grow, take risks, and reach their full potential. I am proud to work alongside our dedicated staff as we continue to build on the strong traditions that make Brewerton such a special place.

A strong partnership between home and school is essential to student success. We value open communication and encourage families to stay connected by checking ParentSquare and our monthly newsletters for important updates, upcoming events, and school information throughout the year. We also welcome your questions, ideas, and involvement as we work together to provide the very best experience for every child.

Thank you for being an important part of the Brewerton Elementary community. I look forward to meeting many of you at school and community events and to celebrating a wonderful year of learning, growth, and achievement together.

Warmly,

Vanessa McClowry
Principal, Brewerton Elementary School
