Driver's License Required for Each Visit
Your driver's license must be scanned EVERY TIME YOU ENTER THE SCHOOL. If you do not have your license to scan, you will not be admitted.
Thank you for your help in the safety of our Bobcats!
Important Information For Upcoming End-of-Year Events and Activities
Brookwood is counting down to our last day of school, and classrooms are scheduling events and activities as we speak. Parents are invited to some of these events. Our new check-in system requires that a driver’s license be scanned, and we still have several parents who are not yet in the system. In order to avoid long lines and late arrivals to events, we are asking you to stop in as soon as possible and get scanned. This way, on the day of the event, you can just print out your badge. If this isn’t possible, please arrive early for your child’s event to allow time for the initial scanning process. Remember, your driver’s license is now required at every visit in order to print a badge and be admitted.
