Students can purchase candy grams for their friends, teachers, staff members, or siblings. All candy grams will be delivered on Tuesday, February 14th with a lollipop attached

Student Attendance

Please report a child’s absence by calling the attendance line at 703-814-8787 or by emailing BrookfieldESAttendance@fcps.edu in order to excuse an absence.

Research has shown that there is a strong correlation between successful school performance and attendance at school.  When a student misses more than ten days in a school year, it is often reflected in the student’s grades and level of student confidence.

Visitor Management System (VMS) 

The new FCPS Visitor Management System (VMS) was recently installed in our main office at Brookfield. We will begin using this system on February 7, 2017. The office staff will be available to assist you.

Visitors entering an FCPS school must register at the VMS with a valid driver’s license, valid DMV identification card, military ID, or passport for registration and subsequent check-ins. This applies to all parents, visitors, and volunteers.

For the safety of your student(s) as well as the staff, you will not be permitted in the building unless you have valid identification, and have registered at the VMS station.

National School Counseling Week 

This week we celebrate our  wonderful school counselors, Carole Zendle and Monica Evans, for all their work to support our entire Brookfield community. National School COunseling Week is celebrated to focus public attention on the unique contributions of professional school counselors within U.S. school systems. National School Counseling Week, sponsored by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) highlights the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for college and careers. Every day, school counselors work with students, families, and staff to address the academic, social/emotional, and college and career needs of all students.For more information about FCPS school counseling visit https://www.fcps.edu/resources/student-safety-and-wellness/school-counseling-services

February Energy Train: Brushing 2 minutes, morning & night

Tooth decay is the most common chronic childhood disease and it is totally preventable. Virginia recently earned a C+ in the Oral Health Report card due to 47% of third graders experiencing some tooth decay. Did you know that more than 51 million school hours are lost each year in the United States due to dental related illness? Poor oral health, including early tooth loss, gum disease, pain and infection can affect a child’s speech development, school performance and lower his or her self-esteem. February’s Health Promotion message is:

“Get On the Energy Train: Brushing 2 minutes, morning & night = A Healthier You!”
