Our Broncos, Our Moments, Our Story
We had an incredible summer of learning! Even with our school under construction, our dedicated students and staff didn't miss a beat. We want to extend a huge thank you to Providence Elementary for graciously hosting us. It was a wonderful and productive summer, and we're so proud of our hard-working Broncos!
The progress at Brookfield is amazing! We're thrilled to share these photos showcasing the incredible work happening on our campus. The foundation for our new academic addition is in progress, and inside, classrooms and hallways are being prepped for their beautiful transformation. Our admin team recently toured the campus alongside Design & Construction and couldn't be happier with the progress. We can't wait to see our new and improved school take shape!

Kindergarten Registration is Open: Spread the Word!
Please remind your neighbors and friends that it is time to register for kindergarten at Brookfield. Contact Hilda Gomez Perez with any questions.
Attending kindergarten provides children with an opportunity to learn and practice the essential social, emotional, problem-solving, and self-regulation skills they will use throughout their lives.
Families should prepare for registration by gathering documents and completing forms on the FCPS kindergarten registration webpage. FCPS offers support and resources for all families to help with registration and the transition to kindergarten. For support in other languages, visit the kindergarten registration webpage.
A strong start is Goal 1 of the 2023-30 Strategic Plan.

🩹 Back-to-School Immunization Requirements

- Get records from other states’ systems if your child was immunized outside of Virginia.
- Request records from your health care provider. Some may charge for copies.
Review school-required immunizations to verify that your child is up to date.

FCHD offers limited walk-in hours for immunization services on a first-come first served basis. Immunizations are also available by appointment.
