Message from Our Administrative Team at Brookwood
This week’s gas main leak gave us an opportunity to participate in a safety situation that gifted us with an extended school day and delayed release. Although many parents have sent and posted words of appreciation for the communication through campus messenger and Facebook, we have a few that have let us know that they missed some or all of the communication. As a remainder, all campus messenger phone calls/emails/text are based on the information parents have provided in Infinite Campus. Please log into Parent Portal and make sure all of your information is updated. If you do not have a parent portal account, please contact Tammy Hazelwood to establish this critical communication account. We also use Facebook to communicate with our local school community. If you don’t have a Facebook account or haven’t joined the Brookwood Elementary School page, we encourage you to do so. This is the best way to contact the most parents without overloading phone lines.
Thank you all for your patience and understanding as we worked through our unusual situation. Our students were never in harm’s way, just land locked. It was an awesome day!

Morning Car Line ~ We Are Connected and Need Your Help
Brookwood has two different entrances. The first entrance from Brookwood Road is the bus lane. For safety reasons please do not pull into this lane in the mornings for any reason. The second entrance (by the marque) is the carline. If you like to park and walk your child to the door please make sure you escort them all the way into the building using the designated walk-way. You are welcome to get your hugs and kisses inside the building before you go. If you choose to walk your child into the building, please remember that when you leave you will not be allowed to back out of your parking spot until the car line is completed at 7:40 a.m. If you are unable to wait until 7:40 then please stay in the car line and drop off your children with our staff.
We have noticed that several parents have been running quite late. In order for you to get through our car line quickly and safely we are asking that you consider leaving your home 10 minutes earlier. By doing this, you will get through the car line before school begins and not risk your child being late to class. By getting to school earlier your child has an opportunity to unpack, make lunch selections and socialize with friends without being rushed straight into the school routine.
Don’t forget that Forsyth County has excellent transportation via the bus that you could also consider. Riding the bus guarantees your child is never late to school and you don’t have to mess with a long car line.
If you have any questions regarding our procedures, please contact Tracey Smith, Principal at tbsmith@forsyth.k12.ga.us.
