Dear Brookfield Families,
WOW! Yesterday’s PTA Fun Run was spectacular! The weather was perfect for being outside and our Broncos gave their best efforts as they circled the track and raised money for our school. We’ve included photos from the event below. It was great to see those of you who were able to attend. We hope you will come back on Monday for our Parent Coffee. We don’t have a formal agenda, but encourage you to stop by to meet us, ask questions, and share what’s on your mind.
Sincerely,
Ellen Mukai

Portrait of a Graduate Happenings
Students in Ms. Howard's class discuss ways they have been an Ethical and Global Citizen during Morning Meeting.
Students are engaging in rich conversations about the five Portrait of a Graduate skills around the whole building at Brookfield! Teachers are using Morning Meeting, Closing Circle and many other opportunities throughout the day to engage students in reflection about how they are growing in these skills.

Schools Adopting Text and Translation Platform
FCPS has recently adopted TalkingPoints, a two-way messaging app that allows parents and caregivers to communicate with teachers and schools. Look for messages from your child’s school on how they are implementing the app. For more information, visit the FCPS TalkingPoints webpage.
The app translates messages, so teachers can input messages in English and parents can respond in their preferred language. TalkingPoints supports 125 languages, making it easier and faster for our FCPS families to connect with their schools. If you need to update your preferred correspondence language, contact the front office at your child’s school and ask for the registrar.
