Brookfield Staff & Community Meeting RECORDING. Community Input Needed
Dear Brookfield Elementary School Staff and Community,
It was wonderful to connect with many of you virtually last night, along with the Human Resources, to provide a presentation outlining the principal selection process.

As mentioned in our previous communication, your input is very important to us and drives every step of the principal selection process. We invite you to offer your individual, written input via email regarding the skills, experience, and leadership characteristics needed for Brookfield Elementary School. You might also address any challenges or issues that a new principal will need to address. Please be assured that all input is confidential. Below you will see suggestions for input and how you would submit it by, Monday, September 16.
Additionally, the advisory panel will be comprised of three staff and three parent representatives from the Brookfield community. If you are interested in serving as a panelist, please submit your information by the close of business, Monday, September 16, using the Google document form. Please review the meeting recording for additional details on the panel process and the commitment required of panelists. The Region 5 Leadership Team will review all submissions and select staff and community members to serve as panelists or alternates for these interviews. Individuals selected to serve in this capacity will be contacted by the Human Resources department overseeing this process.
I look forward to working closely with Brookfield faculty, staff, parents, and community members during the principal selection process.
Sincerely,
Rebecca G. Baenig
Assistant Superintendent, Region 5
✔️ Parent/Caregiver Checklist: Have You Completed These Important Forms?
We understand that the multiple school forms caregivers receive during the first weeks of school can feel overwhelming, but each one helps set your child up for a successful school year! If you do not have a SIS ParentVUE account, please contact your child’s school for an activation code and follow the directions on the SIS ParentVUE Account webpage.
🩹 Immunization Requirements
Please check with your healthcare provider as soon as possible to make sure your child is up to date on the immunizations required by the state of Virginia. Starting Monday, September 30, students who have not provided proof of immunization will not be allowed to attend school.
You may check your child’s immunization compliance and submit their immunization record in SIS ParentVUE. Records may also be delivered to your school’s front office.
Alternative immunization documents (below) may also be provided to your school’s front office, but they may not be uploaded in ParentVUE:
- A healthcare provider’s written statement specifying all administered immunizations.
- A healthcare provider’s written statement of a permanent or temporary medical exemption.
- A notarized Religious Exemption form objecting to the administration of immunizations due to conflicts with religious tenets or practices.
Find more information on immunizations.
📋 Permission Forms
Families can easily grant permission for their children to access a variety of school resources through the Parent Digital Consent system. Parents can opt their child in or out of resources including online educational tools, school counseling services, and tutoring services. They can also change how student information is managed.Visit the Parent Digital Consent webpage to access the system. Watch this video to see how to use the tool.
Student Rights and Responsibilities (SR&R)
The SR&R document explains expectations for student behavior and adult responses. Parents using SIS ParentVUE will be prompted to sign the document when logging in to that platform. A printable version of the document with a signature sheet is available on the SR&R webpage. This form should be signed and returned by Friday, September 30.
🍽️ Fueling Student Success: New Food Options Cooked up at FCPS
Students will have more than a dozen new options for lunch and breakfast in school cafeterias starting this week. New menu items were either favorites at last year’s food show — including Korean BBQ wings, sweet Thai chili wings, chicken tikka masala, and barbacoa street tacos — or were tested with student focus groups and tastings.
View school menus to see all the new options and when they will become available.
✨ The 2023-30 Strategic Plan — Goal 2: Safe, Supported, Included, Empowered
The Office of Food and Nutrition Services' updates to lunch menus align with FCPS’ Strategic Plan Goal #2 - Safe, Supported, Included, and Empowered. The new menu options reflect the many voices and cultures represented around every FCPS lunch table!
FCPS’ 2023-30 Strategic Plan sets five main goals to create positive change in the division. These goals show where we should focus our attention and will help us align our efforts.
As part of the second goal, we want each and every student to feel like they belong and have the support they need to thrive. See how Goal 2 is being put into practice.
