Dear Brookside Families!
First and foremost we hope that you and your loved ones are all healthy and well. We have just completed our 10th Week of Remote Learning!

2020 - 2021 Class Placement Procedures
I wanted to take this opportunity to share scheduling and class placement procedures and planning that will take place at Brookside School this spring. Please know that all staff members take this process incredibly seriously, and careful consideration goes into the creation of each class list. Many factors are examined during this process, some of which include: academics, personality, learning styles, educational needs, peer relationships and much more. The deadline for input submission is Friday, June 12th.
As parents, you may have additional information or contributions that may assist us with our scheduling and class placement process. If there have been changes at home or other relevant details concerning your child that you feel we should know, please email this information to me directly. Meetings or calls regarding scheduling will not occur. Please understand that we all have the best interest of your children at heart each and every day, especially during this process, and the times we are experiencinig.
The deadline for input submission is Friday, June 12th so that we may begin our class list creation process in a timely manner. Please be mindful that we are asking for objective information and not a teacher preference (teacher name). This type of request will not be accommodated.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding. I look forward to an incredibly successful 2020 - 2021 school year for all children at Brookside School.
