ISSUE: 008 / APRIL YEAR: 2022
BROOKWOOD JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL As we start the 4th quarter of learning for students, I want to encourage parents to stay connected to their child’s school by checking the principal’s and teacher’s ClassDojo weekly, and by logging into PowerSchool to check their child’s academic progress. As the weather gets nicer, we find that students sometimes have difficulty concentrating and staying focused on their academics. Please encourage your child to use their academic planner to record their homework assignments and to help them stay organized. I want to thank all of parents that participated in our 5 Essentials Survey. I am happy to announce we had 50% participation by parents. I am so appreciative as this information is so important when planning for our upcoming school year. The winner of our $50 gift card is the parent of 8th grader, Dami Abatan! Congratulations and thank you for participating! Please participate in our One Book One School Program, every student received the book titled Wonder by R.J. Palacio. We are asking that students bring their book home and read it together as a family. Every Monday, students will complete a short quiz on what they read. The students that receive 100% on the quiz will receive extra credit points and will put on a list to be recognized each week! Please participate in this awesome program with your child and other family members. I have attached the Reading Schedule for this awesome program. Remember readers are leaders! If you have questions and or concerns, we want to hear from you. We thank you again for your support and your cooperation. If you have any questions or concerns, I can be reached at the school number (708) 758-5252, by email jlarson@brookwood167.org or by cell phone, (708) 362-0115.
