Principal’s Message

Welcome to Brodnicki Elementary School! 

Dear Students, Parents, Staff, and Community Members,

Welcome to Brodnicki Elementary—home of big hearts, bright minds, and boundless possibilities! We are incredibly proud to share that Brodnicki has been recognized as an Exemplary School by the Illinois State Board of Education, ranking in the top 10% of elementary schools in the state. This honor reflects the dedication of our amazing students, supportive families, and hardworking staff.

As principal, it is my absolute pleasure to lead a school that places academic excellence, innovation, and student well-being at the heart of everything we do. At Brodnicki, we believe that learning should be engaging, inclusive, and meaningful for every child.

Our talented team of educators is passionate about helping each student reach their full potential. Through personalized instruction, strong social-emotional supports, and a focus on foundational skills in reading, writing, and math, we are committed to nurturing both the minds and hearts of our learners.

As we begin this new school year, we are excited for the opportunities ahead and the partnerships we will build with our families and community. Your involvement truly makes a difference, and we invite you to stay connected through our school website, social media, and regular school updates.

Thank you for choosing Brodnicki Elementary. We can’t wait to partner with you to make this school year a memorable and successful one. Together, we will continue to be our B.E.S.T.!

Warmly,
Joyce Franko
Principal
Brodnicki Elementary School
