Welcome to Brummer Elementary School!
We are located in Green Oak Township, the only South
Lyon School in Livingston County. The concept of the
building was researched, constructed, and completed over
a time period of two years. Our school has been open
since the fall of 2000 and our staff and students work
diligently to maintain the integrity of the building and
the mission we have identified for ourselves. We are
proud to report that it looks exactly the same as
it did twelve years ago when we opened our doors.
Our school was named after the William A. Brummer. He
was a devoted, respected and loved South Lyon High
School Counselor. We are proud to share his name and
very excited to have a member of his family attending
our school this year.
Bill Brummer was a dedicated educator. He began teaching
at South Lyon High School in 1973, in a special
education classroom. He completed his first Masters of
Arts in 1977 and a second MA in 1989, both from Eastern
Michigan University. Being the very first WDIV Teacher
of the Year (1986-87) at South Lyon High School was an
award that Bill was honored with, but his comment was
that there were many good teachers here in South Lyon.
After teaching in a Resource Room environment for many
years, he left the classroom and in September of 1992,
Bill moved to a position as a guidance counselor. While
in this position, Mr. Brummer worked as a liaison
between SLHS and Oakland Technical Center (OTC), where
many of our students attended to broaden their
perspective of possibilities for after graduation. He
also worked for OTC several summers in an administrative
position. Bill received the Academy of Technology
Special Recognition Award from OTC in 1991 and 1992.
On December 29, 1997, while working on his property up
north with his family, Bill passed away. His family has
been very honored that the community has chosen to
remember him with our school.
School Improvement Goals
During the summer of 2011, our Steering Committee met to
plan the activities for the year. Based on the results
of the surveys and the assessment data, the following
goals were selected for our school improvement plan:
-
All students will improve their math across the
curriculum.
-
All students will improve their informational
reading comprehension across the curriculum. We are
beginning to develop our action plan which will
include strategies (interventions) and an assessment
program which will be used over the next three
years.
Concept Of Our School
The concept of Brummer Elementary is designed around
a neighborhood
theme. Each of the four different colored
neighborhoods operates as a
school within a school. Teachers work together to
provide an environment
that creates unity and belonging for each student
within their neighborhood,
as well as belonging to a larger community, Brummer
Elementary.
Staff and Students
Our staff consists of 26 teachers with over 400 years of
combined teaching experience! Our school operates
effectively because of the team work promoted between
the parents, teachers, our principal, office staff,
dining staff, building engineer, custodians, social
worker, counselor and numerous volunteers.
Please feel free to contact the office staff at
