A Message from Mr. Hoog
Dear Brooks School Families,
Brook School Elementary is proud to be a Gold Star School as recognized by the Indiana Department of Education. According to the DOE, Gold Star schools have exhibited “the highest level of school counseling professionalism in Indiana.” To receive this honor, Brooks School Elementary convened an advisory council of diverse stakeholders. That team participated in a nine-month, rigorous process that reviewed student data, established student outcome goals, aligned efforts to counseling standards, and committed to maximizing the time school counselors spend in direct service of students. Comprehensive school counseling efforts rely on a strong community safety net where every adult is responsible for guiding students. Brooks School Elementary will continue to build on this momentum by exploring teacher advisory programs, parent advisory programs, and community advisory programs. We are very excited about this recognition and thank everyone involved for their tremendous efforts.
Have a great weekend!
Mr. Hoog
