School is Open Today at 9:55 a.m. -
It is important that all of our Broncos are here.
Dear Brookfield Families,
Thank you for your patience as we work through the “snowcrete” and prepare to welcome students back after these extremely cold temperatures. As you know, we are operating on a 2-hour delay today, and we are excited to see our Brookfield Broncos back in the building!
It is very important for students to attend school today. Being present helps students stay connected, engaged, and on track with their learning.
If possible, please use the school bus or Kiss & Ride for arrival. If your child walks to school, please use caution, as icy sidewalks in some areas can make walking difficult. FCPS has been working closely with VDOT to clear bus stops and the surrounding areas.
Please also remind students that snow and ice must remain on the ground. We cannot pick up or throw snow or ice at cars, buses, houses, people, or even the ground. While it may be tempting, ice can cause serious injury or property damage. This expectation applies at bus stops and when walking to and from school.
I would also like to extend a huge thank you to our incredible custodians for their tireless work clearing snow and ice from our Brookfield campus this past week. We are also deeply grateful to our Brookfield families and community members who volunteered throughout the neighborhoods. Your support made a real difference, and because of you, we are ready to welcome students back tomorrow.
Please continue to stay safe and stay warm. We look forward to seeing our students soon!
Sincerely,
Principal Hassen

❄️ Prepare for Winter Weather
Winter weather is here! Watch this video to see how weather closing decisions are made at FCPS.
FCPS’ website is generally the first place to find out about emergency weather closings. Other communication channels will be used as quickly as possible, including email, text, social media, the new FCPS mobile app, and news stations. Learn more about how schedule changes are communicated.
Be sure to plan for the winter season. Update your contact information in SIS ParentVUE, bookmark the FCPS website, and arrange emergency child care if needed.
⛄ Keep Your Child Warm During Outdoor Activities
We will monitor the weather for low temperatures, wind chill advisories and warnings, and weather advisories that may prevent children from being outside. Make sure your child is dressed appropriately with a warm coat and other cold-weather clothing, so they can comfortably enjoy their time outdoors. View the National Weather Service’s tips on staying safe during cold weather.
If you need assistance getting cold-weather clothing for your family, please call Fairfax County Coordinated Services Planning (CSP) at 703-222-0880. Their multilingual staff can assist with any challenges you are facing, including food, shelter, employment, financial assistance, and health.
