- The building is locked at 4:00 p.m. each day for security reasons. Students should gather all needed materials and books before leaving at dismissal time. Parents, do not bring your child back to the school to get things. We are working on student responsibility, and we need your support.

Please do join PTA! Memberships are only $5 and it is a great way to be involved! Our PTA supports teaching and learning at Brookwood in so many ways. They have provided lots of technology for teachers and students through their fundraisers. They provide $125 to each teacher to buy instructional supplies for classrooms and they provide a newsletter like Time for Kids for each student. This is in addition to the many family fun events that they sponsor like Movie Night and Bingo Night and of course the classroom parties facilitated by our PTA room moms.
Thank you for the contributions you have already made and know that any donations are greatly appreciated! The Brookwood Community is so supportive of education and we are so glad that we have the opportunity to work together with you to provide a high quality education for all students! |
