Dear Brookfield Families,

This week was filled with wonderful events showcasing our students talents and abilities! From impressive musical performances to displays of athleticism on Field Day – it’s been a joy to witness the growth and development of our Broncos! We are grateful to each and every parent who joined us through volunteering, attending events, or cheering on your children. Thank you for being such wonderful partners in their educational journey. Your support and collaboration make our community a very special place.

We end the week with the PTA Heritage Night and Talent Show! We hope you’ll join us once more this week for this cherished event!

Sincerely,

Ellen, Margaret, and Anthony


News and Notes

Social and Emotional Learning Screener Results Coming Soon

FCPS students in grades 3-12 took the Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener during March, providing updated information on skills such as achieving goals, understanding and managing emotions, establishing and maintaining relationships with adults and peers, and making responsible decisions. The SEL Screener also helps students evaluate their school community’s efforts to make them feel valued, included, and supported. 

In late April, individual student SEL Screener results will be available for families in the Documents section of SIS ParentVUE. For families who do not have an active ParentVUE account, results will be sent via postal mail. 

Get more information about the screener on the Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener webpage. For support in understanding your individual student’s results or ideas on how to support them at home, please review the Family Guide or contact your student’s teacher.
