Message from the School Director
Greetings BACS families,
It is with great pride and excitement that I welcome you to our new Brooklyn Ascend Lower School website! I urge you to visit this site to access helpful academic and informational resources that will keep you and your scholar informed about the great things happening here at BACS.
Our website will feature contact information for our faculty to help facilitate seamless communication between staff and our families and the school calendar for up-to-date information on school events.
I look forward to seeing all the gains our scholars make during this school year!
In partnership,
Elena Strauss
