2025–2026 Parent Welcome Letter 

Mr. David Brach – 4th Grade, Winfield School District 34 

Welcome to 4th Grade, Brach Stars! ■ 

My name is David Brach, and I’m thrilled to be your child’s teacher this year. I have been teaching in Winfield School District 34 for 27 years in grades 1, 3, and 4, as well as a 3/4 split class. I also hold a Type 75 certification in school administration. 

I live in Batavia with my wife, Julie, a math enrichment teacher in the Batavia school district. We have four children: 

● Keira – studying Marine Biology at the University of Hilo, Hawaii 

● Andrew – studying Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines 

● Katie – studying Education at Grand Valley State University in Michigan 

● Maddie – studying Cosmetology at Batavia High School 

Our family also includes a lively group of pets: 

● Murphy – 10-year-old Lhasa Apso 

● Chino – 2-year-old poodle mix rescue 

● Bubs – red-eared slider turtle 

● Hopper – African dwarf frog 

In my free time, I enjoy hiking, listening to music, spending time with friends and family, and collecting comic books.
