Principal’s Message

Kirsten BrownWelcome to Frederick J. Gaenslen School!

Our vision for Gaenslen School is to provide a supportive and caring environment for our school students, parents, staff, and school community. We offer effective behavioral and academic interventions with a rigorous curriculum aligned to Common Core State Standards to prepare students for college/careers and job readiness.

We know that these are unprecedented and sometimes scary times. We also know that we are strong and resilient and that together we will not only get through this uncertainty, we will thrive. I would like to thank you for your thoughtfulness and patience as we navigate this new territory. I assure you that our staff is working hard to ensure that our scholars continue to learn, grow and succeed.

Be healthy and stay safe.

Sincerely,

Kirsten L. Brown
Principal of Frederick J. Gaenslen School
