GCPS' Plan for 2013-14 Snow Make-up Days.  The school system will use its 3 built-in make-up days, February 17, March 14 & May 22. The remaining 4 days will be made up by extending the school day by 30 minutes for 48 days. This means that all schools will dismiss a half-hour later than their regular time from March 3-May 14. The last day of school will be May 22. Snow Make-Up Day Bell Schedule.
 

Before Spring Break each year, the Students Against Destructive Decisions club hosts a whole week of activities designed to encourage good student decisions. It's called BRAT Week (Brookwood Rallies Against Trouble). This year is no exception. As part of the weeklong schedule, FBI Special Agent Keith Kabrhel is coming to school to speak March 24 to freshman during the school day.  Agent Kabrhel's specialty is crimes against children on the internet. His speech will cover the criminal and legal aspects of posting something on social media that students might regret, plus the long-term effects for employment, college and more. He will offer tips for protecting students. From 6:30-7:30 p.m. that evening in the Commons, Brookwood will host a cluster parent & community session (students are welcome too) with Agent Kabrhel. We hope you will make plans to attend this timely, relevant event.
