ISSUE: 007 / MARCH YEAR: 2022
BROOKWOOD JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL I want to begin by thanking you all for your patience and support during this snowy/icy February. Hopefully March will bring us more pleasant weather days, but this is Illinois so snow could still be in the forecast. We are very proud of our 7th grade boys’ basketball team who brought home the State Championship for the first time in our school’s history! The boys beat Monticello Middle School to earn the title. It was a very exciting game and our boys played hard and were able to come out on top! I encourage students to think back to their excitement and focus when the school year began in August, and to use that energy, and set goals for the second half of the year. The start of a new semester offers students the opportunity to have a clean slate and a renewed outlook for success. Just a reminder that this month students will be taking the Illinois Assessment of Readiness State Assessment Exam. Our students take federally required assessments every spring. These assessments help us understand how our students are growing academically, compared to their peers across the state. The state uses this information to provide more support and resources to the schools in the greatest need. 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.
