the warm fall days and cool fall nights, I would like to take this opportunity to say “Thank You” to all the students, staff, teachers, parents and community members that made the first five (5) months of the 2021/2022 school year an amazing one. Without your support or assistance, all that Brookwood Middle School has accomplished to date would not have happened, so

Parents did you know that if your child is absent, you can request a recorded version of their teacher’s lesson? We want to keep students on track, and this is a great way for ensuring students don’t fall behind if they miss a class. You can also request a recorded lesson if your child is struggling and they need to see the lesson again. Please reach out to your child’s teachers and take advantage of this great resource.
