Our Broncos, Our Moments, Our Story
What a great day of learning! Mrs. Katz's kindergarteners were focused on their journals today, with some one-on-one help from their amazing teacher. We love seeing our students' confidence grow as they share their ideas on paper.
Benchmark Advance in action! Ms. Tickle's 1st graders are building strong reading and comprehension skills.
A Message from Our Admin Team
Dear Brookfield Community,
As we reach the halfway point of our first quarter, the entire admin team wants to share how incredibly proud we are of the work happening in every area of our building. From Broncoville to the main building, the momentum is strong, and our students and staff are thriving.
We want to send a heartfelt thank you for the overwhelming generosity shown to our school. Thanks to the support of former staff and students, current staff, neighbors, friends, and dedicated community partners, we are currently well-stocked with student supplies. Your support ensures that every student has what they need for a strong start to the school year, and we are truly grateful for this beautiful demonstration of community spirit.
We are so proud to have you as a part of our Brookfield family. Your partnership is invaluable. Please continue the great habit of reading with your children at home, and never hesitate to reach out to us if you need anything.
We look forward to a fantastic rest of the quarter!
Warmly,
Lesley Hassen, Principal
Margaret Sisler, Assistant Principal
Anthony Ramakis, Assistant Principal

Brookfield Welcomes and Thanks Our Military Connected Families
Every year, approximately 600,000 military-connected families relocate, and schools are a primary way they get integrated into their new location. Most of these families move to new duty stations, while some transition out of the military and others transition in. Most of these moves take place over the summer, and Fairfax County Public Schools is committed to ensuring our military families feel welcomed and a sense of belonging to their local community.
Blue Star Welcome Week is an opportunity for our community to welcome our military-connected families and show them our appreciation for their service and sacrifices. Throughout the week, FCPS will help ease their transition through events, messages, actions of welcome, and opportunities to make meaningful connections. Please help us welcome our military families during Blue Star Welcome Week, September 27 - October 5, 2025, and throughout the year! #BlueStarWelcomeWeekFCPS

⏰ K-12 School Start Times Survey
FCPS is continuing to explore options for adjusting school start times, with the primary goal of beginning the middle school day at 8 a.m. or later. In order to minimize any cost for this project, elementary and high school start times would need to shift as well.
Providing feedback opportunities for the community is a critical part of this effort. Since 2024, FCPS’ consultant has hosted five community forums and administered two surveys. A new School Start TImes Survey is open through Tuesday, September 30. It includes two options that are designed to support student well-being, align with research, balance transportation logistics, and minimize costs. Staff, parents and caregivers, students, and community members may provide input on the two options by taking the survey. Find more information about adjusting school start times.
