Our Broncos, Our Moments, Our Story
Time-traveling to 1607! Our 4th graders explored Jamestown, walked in the footsteps of history, and made memories that will last way beyond the classroom. 📜✨
Big shout-out to our 6th grade students for helping keep our school beautiful! They spent Wednesday afternoon cleaning up litter around campus in honor of Earth Day. Thank you for your hard work, Broncos!
Cheering them on in the classroom and on the field! Ms. Canavan, Ms. Williams, and Ms. Tutu love supporting their former students because once you’re part of our school family, we’re always in your corner 🏈💙 (one player not pictured).
Our 3rd graders are ready to dive into The Wild Robot! A huge thank you to the Rotary Club of Chantilly/Centreville for this generous gift. We are so grateful for your support in inspiring a love of reading. 📚💙
A Message from Our Admin Team
Dear Brookfield Community,
We are excited to kick off what promises to be a fantastic week at Brookfield Elementary!
This week, our Brookfield Broncos will come together for our first annual SOL Hype Pep Rally. This special event will give our PreK–2nd grade students a chance to cheer on our 3rd–6th grade scholars as they prepare for their upcoming SOL assessments. Our 3rd–6th graders will gather in the gym for a time filled with cheers, inspiration, and positivity as we celebrate their hard work and readiness.
We have so many people rooting for our students’ success. As we head into this important time, please help your child prepare by ensuring they get a good night’s sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and stay hydrated. Most importantly, encourage them to believe in themselves and simply do their best.
Every one of our students works hard each and every day, and we are incredibly proud of all of them. Their dedication truly shines.
We would also like to share that next week is Staff Appreciation Week. We look forward to celebrating the incredible efforts of our teachers and staff who support our students so thoughtfully each day.
Thank you for your continued partnership. We are looking forward to a great week ahead!
Warm regards,
Lesley Hassen, Principal
Margaret Sisler, Assistant Principal
Anthony Ramakis, Assistant Principal
26-27 Class Placement Family/Parent Input Form
We are already working on our plans for the next school year! Class placements are an essential component of learning and building community. We know that a good teacher-student match and a productive mix of children are ingredients for success, and we carefully consider each child’s strengths and needs during this process. If you have information that you would like us to consider as we determine where to place your child next year, please share your input by responding to this survey. Please do not request specific teachers, as this does not take into account the many variables we must take into consideration. It is far more valuable to share particular academic or behavioral information.
Completion of this form is optional, but must be received by Friday, May 22.
¡Ya estamos trabajando en nuestros planes para el año escolar! Las colocaciones en clases son un componente esencial del aprendizaje y la construcción de una comunidad. Sabemos que una buena combinación entre maestro y estudiante y una combinación productiva de niños son ingredientes para el éxito, y consideramos cuidadosamente las fortalezas y necesidades de cada niño durante este proceso. Si tiene información que le gustaría que consideremos mientras determinamos dónde colocar a su hijo el próximo año, comparta su opinión respondiendo esta encuesta. Por favor no solicite profesores específicos, ya que esto no tiene en cuenta las muchas variables que debemos tener en cuenta. Es mucho más valioso compartir información académica o de comportamiento particular. Completar este formulario es opcional, pero debe recibirse antes del viernes 22 de mayo.

Required Immunizations for Rising 7th and Rising 12th Graders
The following immunizations are required for students entering 7th and 12th grade each school year.
All students entering 7th grade are required to receive one dose of each of the following immunizations prior to the beginning of school: Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis booster (Tdap), Meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY), and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine.
- To meet the Tdap requirement, the vaccination must be administered at age 7 or older.
- To meet the MenACWY requirement, the vaccination must be administered at age 10 or older.
- To meet the HPV requirement, the vaccination should be given between the ages of 11 to 12 or as early as 9 years old.
- As a parent/guardian, you may decide that your child will not receive the HPV vaccination. The school does not require documentation if a parent/guardian elects for their student not to receive the HPV vaccination.
All students entering 12th grade are to receive two doses of the Meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY) prior to the beginning of school. To meet the MenACWY 12th grade requirement, one dose must be administered at age 16 or older.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to plan ahead by scheduling an appointment with your child’s health care provider now to avoid the rush this summer. Please consider getting your child’s immunizations early so that they can attend school in the fall. Summer is a busy time for families and healthcare providers. As long as your child meets the age requirements listed above, they can be immunized at any time.
Immunization Events for FCPS Students
FCPS, in partnership with Inspire Health Alliance, will provide school-required immunizations and optional flu shots for all FCPS students at no out-of-pocket cost. Multiple events will take place at designated FCPS locations.
Dates will be made available throughout the school year. Parents or guardians may view upcoming events and schedule an appointment for their student. Participation is voluntary. Additional immunization resources are also available.
Nominations Open for the Bussey Memorial Equity Award
Nominations are now open for the 2026 Dr. Lawrence Bussey Memorial Equity Award.

The Minority Student Achievement Oversight Committee (MSAOC) sponsors this award to honor the legacy of Dr. Bussey, a founding member of the MSAOC and a longtime advocate for students and families.
