Volunteers are STILL Needed for our Walkathon, Friday, April 28th
Many volunteers are needed to make this year’s Walkathon a success ~ we are in HIGH need of additional helpers. If you have not yet signed up to volunteer, please consider volunteering to either to walk with your child’s class and/or help at a station. As with all activities involving the school, all volunteers must have a cleared background check on-file. If you would like to volunteer but have not yet gone through the PCSC background check, please contact Brentwood for assistance in completing this step.
To sign up to volunteer for the Walkathon, please visit the following website:
http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0a4da8a72ca7f58-walkathon
Upon check in the day of the Walkathon, all volunteers will be given a wristband that should be prominently displayed during the entire event, indicating they were an approved participant.
Student Permission Forms
We only have a few permission forms that have not been turned in, please turn in your permission form as soon as possible so that your child can participate in this once-a-year spectacular! And as always, thank you for your continued support during the Elementary School Walkathon!

Plainfield Community Opportunities
No Birthday/Celebration Treats in School
We know you want to celebrate special days such as birthdays with your child's class, however, our handbook states this is not allowed at Brentwood. Please refrain from sending any classroom treats in to school. This is NOT a new policy. We will continue to offer special days throughout the year where our teachers and PTO plan fun activities for our students (during school hours as well as outside of school hours).
Thank you for your assistance as we continue to enforce the rules set forth in our handbook.
Kroger Community Rewards

Kroger is committed to helping our communities grow and prosper. Year after year, local schools, churches and other nonprofit organizations will earn millions of dollars through Kroger Community Rewards.
