Dear Parents, Thank you to all the families who have worked really hard to get their students to school on time this year. As you know, we have started closing our car rider doors at 8:45 AM when the first bell rings. Students must be in their seat ready to begin learning at 8:50 AM when the second bell rings. When students are walking in the door at 8:50 AM, they are considered tardy. We have implemented this change because students who arrive late at car riders impact my staffs' ability to be in their rooms ready to work with students. If I expect my teachers and support staff members to be ready to begin instruction when the second bell rings, then they need  time to get from the side of the building where car riders unload to their classrooms so that they are ready to begin work. I would hope that you would expect me to hold teachers and support staff members accountable to be on time and prepared to teach students. Therefore, we need you to have your students at school on time and prepared to learn. At the latest, students should be walking in the building at 8:45 so that they are in their classrooms ready to learn by the time the second bell rings at 8:50. In addition, as a reminder the last check out is at 2:50 PM. This is in place for the safety of parents and students as buses are beginning to arrive and there is much movement in the front drive. Thank you for your continuous support and understanding as we work together to make Brookwood ES a safe place to learn.
