News and Notes

Dear Brookfield Community,

It has been an exciting week as some of our preschool and kindergarten students began to learn from our school. I loved visiting classrooms and even had the chance to dance with kindergartners and mold play dough with one of our preschoolers. I also had the chance to pop into some virtual classes where I heard  students reading and listened as they shared their thinking related to a math story problem. Our students are doing great work and learning so much! We appreciate your partnership and are looking forward to having more students in our building in the coming weeks.

Take care,

Ellen Mukai, Principal

Library Book Curbside Pickup Dates Until Spring Break 

Monday, March 1, 2021 

  • No Curbside Pickup this week 

If you have any overdue books, a notice will come to you periodically by email. Don't forget that the books you've returned must be quarantined after we receive them, so we can't check them out again until the next week.

There is a library book return bin at the front door of the school. You can bring library books there to return on any school day that doesn't have rain until 3 p.m. Please don't ring the doorbell! You can just put your library books in the bin. 

Thank you!!
