September Newsletter

Dear Parents,

It has been a wonderful beginning to the new school year. Thank you to those who were able to attend the Brookside’s Open House on Monday afternoon. There is always so much excitement in the air as teachers and students meet each other and relationships are formed.

Every Friday, students who have demonstrated that they have what it takes to be a tiger, will be awarded a Praise Note. We encourage every student to work hard this year so they can receive one.

Being a tiger means: Trustworthy, Is always kind, Generous, Enthusiastic, and Respectful

Everyone at Brookside Elementary is excited to be back at school. We had our first assembly Tuesday and welcomed all our new teachers, staff and principal to our great school. We learned about expectations for this coming school year and are ready to have fun while learning new things. We welcome all parents and patrons of Brookside to come and volunteer in classrooms, join the PTA and be involved in our school. Lets have a great year!

We are excited to see all our parents and students back at school August 21, 2017 from 2:00pm - 4:00pm for our back to school open house. Please come and meet our new principal and your teacher, see your classroom and join the PTA. You can also pay for school lunch, get calendar information and have fun!

School starts on Tuesday, August 22, 2017 and is from 9:00am-3:15pm. Remember early out is every Monday at 2:30pm.

We can't wait to meet new faces, see old ones and have a great school year.

The fifth graders have been learning about the American History in social studies this year.  Recently, they were assigned a state to research and create a float.  The students are so creative with they floats.  They did an amazing job.
