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.
Plan Your Year in Advance
Be sure to read next week's Bobcat Buzz for important dates you'll need to know for next school year.

From the Clinic
The clinic will be closed over the summer, so all medications in the clinic must be picked up no later than Friday, May 24. Parents are responsible for collecting medications from the clinic. Students cannot take medications home with them. Medications that are not picked up by May 24 will be properly disposed of, in accordance with the Forsyth County Schools Medication Guidelines. Thank you for your cooperation. Have a safe, happy summer!
Important News From the Brookwood Cafe
As we prepare for the end of another school year, Forsyth Co. Food Services is no longer allowing negative charges to student accounts.
To ensure that your child can continue to enjoy school meals or to clear your student’s account of any negative balances, please send a payment (cash or check) to the school, or visit www.MyPaymentsPlus.com to make a payment online.
