“DEDICATION, HONOR, EXCELLENCE”
August 13, 2013
Dear Parents/Guardians,
My name is Clement Alexander and as the new principal at T.W. Browne Middle School,
I am honored to have the opportunity to serve our proud community. The T.W. Browne
Middle School staff members and I are committed to becoming a nationally recognized
campus that encourages the development of the whole child through academic, artistic,
athletic, technical, and culturally diverse enrichment opportunities. We are dedicated to
preparing your scholar for high school, college, and career options. Our staff is eager to
embark upon the school improvement your scholar deserves.
According to an article in U.S. News and World Report’s 2011 Best Colleges,
interpreting, drawing conclusions, use of complex texts/complicated reading, analytical
thinking skills and critical thinking skills are important for college and career success.
Technology integration is cited as an important tool that can be used to enhance
learning. Our scholars must be committed to engaging in this rigorous
learning. Scholars are expected to work hard, present work of high quality, display a
character of virtue, and follow the Trojan Tradition (see attachment) at all times.
Your support and involvement will be key in our school’s success. We ask that you
encourage your scholar to put a high priority on education, ensure that your scholar
completes all homework and special projects, monitor your scholar’s academic
progress, contact the teachers as needed, and participate in campus parent
organizations and activities.
I look forward to working with you this school year as we ensure that every scholar is
college and career ready.
Sincerely,
Clement Alexander, Jr.

Trojan Athletics
Welcome to the 2013-2014 school year at T.W. Browne Middle School. The athletic
department is elated to work with your scholar athletes. We lead off the school year with
football and volleyball and in order for your scholar to participate a physical by a
licensed physician is mandatory. It is your responsibility to seek required documentation
by your family doctor or community clinic. If your child expresses an interest in
participating in specified extracurricular activities, please stop by the school's main office
to obtain the district's participation physical examination form.
T.W. Browne is looking forward to a Championship Year, and we want to get to work as
soon as possible! If you have any questions, please contact the Athletic Coordinator,
James Jeffery, at 972-502-2500.
