School is Open Today at 9:55 a.m. -
We are proud that 92% of our Broncos were here yesterday; let's aim for 95% or higher today.
Dear Brookfield Families,
We were so excited to see our Broncos yesterday! We are proud to share that 92% of our students were in school yesterday. Let's aim for 95% or higher today! I know we can do it together!
Thank you again for your patience as we work through the “snowcrete” and operate on a 2-hour delay again today. We love seeing 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. Also, please make sure you are using the kiss and ride line. Students should not be dropped off on Lees Corner Road due to safety concerns. FCPS has been working closely with VDOT to clear bus stops and the surrounding areas.
Please continue to 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.
Please continue to stay safe and stay warm. We look forward to seeing our students soon! Remember, we are aiming for 95% or higher attendance! I am confident that our Brookfield families can make this happen.
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.
