ATTENTION ALL BES PARENTS!
Take the stress out of back-to-school! Please let us know your interest in a low-cost, prepackaged back to school supply kit by taking the short survey. This kit is customized per grade and will be delivered directly to Brookwood Elementary in time for "Meet the Teacher Day". The PTA would like to offer this as a convenience to busy parents as well as an easy fundraiser for our school! Please take the time to take the survey in the News section on the front page of the Brookwood Elementary website.
