Our Broncos, Our Moments, Our Story
This National School Counseling Week, we want to give a massive shout-out to the duo that keeps our students (and staff!) grounded: Mrs. Evans and Ms. Jones.
Red, proud, and heart-healthy! ❤️ Students in Ms. Wang and Ms. Perri’s 2nd grade class celebrate Healthy Heart Month.
A Message from Our Admin Team
Dear Brookfield Community,
Despite the snow, icy conditions, and cold weather this week, we are incredibly proud to share that our attendance remained above 95.5% for most of the week. That is a true testament to the commitment of our students, families, and staff. Thank you for helping our students show up ready to learn—even in challenging conditions.
As we kicked off the third quarter, our students worked hard, demonstrating focus, resilience, and a strong sense of pride in their learning. It has been wonderful to see such positive energy throughout the building as we begin this next chapter of the school year.
We wish everyone a wonderful weekend—whether you’re tuning into the Winter Olympics, watching the Super Bowl, or simply enjoying quality time with family and friends.
We love our Brookfield community and are deeply grateful for your continued partnership and support.
Warm regards,
Lesley Hassen, Principal
Margaret Sisler, Assistant Principal
Anthony Ramakis, Assistant Principal
