School is Open Today at 9:55 a.m. -

Way to go Brookfield! 🎉 We reached our attendance goal yesterday, and 96% of our students were in attendance. Let's aim for 97% today!

Dear Brookfield Families,

We have something BIG to celebrate! 🎉

On Tuesday, 92% of our students were in attendance. Yesterday, we set a bold goal of reaching above 95%, and our Brookfield community delivered with an incredible 96% attendance! I knew we could do it.

At Brookfield, we believe that all students can and will learn at high levels, and we are committed to providing the supports needed to make that happen. That same belief extends to our community. When we set the bar high, we rise to meet it, and yesterday proved exactly that.

A special shout-out to families who had dental appointments and brought students back to school afterward. That commitment matters so much. Being present truly makes a difference, and it is so important that our students are here each day, learning and growing together.

We recognize the dedication it takes from parents and caregivers, and please know this: we see you, and we are grateful for you. Honestly, our school feels warmer and more complete when our entire family, students, and staff are together in the building.

So… we hit 96%! 💪

Now I challenge our Brookfield community to reach 97% attendance today.

Let’s go, Brookfield! 💙🐾

 

With pride and gratitude,

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.
