A Message from the Principal...
Dear Brentwood Families,
There is an opportunity for some "family fun" this weekend at the Quaker Day parade and festival! Our Walkathon winners and families will be walking in the parade and each of the elementary principals will also participate. The PTO members from every school have joined together to sponsor a Quaker Day booth. (*See Below) What a great opportunity to support our school and have fun at the same time! Hope to see you there! Ms. Vamos
Visit the Plainfield Elementary Schools' PTO Hair Chalking Booth @ Quaker Day Festival!!!
We hope you stop by and support our AWESOME schools!
Students of the Week
Meet our Staff MVP of the Week ~ Mrs. Denise Kennedy, Kindergarten
When Mrs. Kennedy isn't teaching 5 and 6 year-olds she enjoys spending time with her family including her husband, Scott, her son, Connor (PHS Freshman), and her daughter, Gabrielle (a 5th grader at Brentwood). Her favorite things to do outside of school hours are to support and cheer on her children at sporting events. Connor plays football and Gabrielle is a competitive gymnast.
Fun Fact Favorites about Mrs. Kennedy:
- Color ~ Red
- Movie ~ Action & Suspense Movies
- Book ~ Divergent
- Music ~ Country, R&B, and Pop
- Restaurant ~ Ruth Chris Steakhouse
- Candy ~ Dove Dark Chocolate
- Vacation ~ Venice, Italy
When asked about her colleague, fellow Kindergarten Teacher, Mrs. Jacki Rogers had this to say about Mrs. Kennedy: "Denise is the kindest, hardest-working person I know. She always goes out of her way to make things new and exciting for the students. Denise also continues relationships with students even after they have been in her classroom attending events or just giving a hug to them when she sees them. I feel so blessed to work with her."

Transportation & Dismissal Info
All car riders arriving in the morning should be dropped off in our car rider lane NOT in our Visitor Parking lot. This ensures they are not crossing over any traffic. If you child is being dropped off late an adult must come into the office with them to sign them in.
If your child rides the bus to school and will be eating breakfast in the cafeteria please talk to them about going straight to the cafeteria to get their breakfast. This will give them the most time to eat a healthy breakfast possible.
Dismissal Changes:
- If you need to change your child's dismissal instructions the best way to do this is to send a signed note into your child's teacher.
- If this is impossible please call the office NO LATER THAN 3:00 p.m. to ensure the dismissal change gets to your child's teacher in a timely matter.
Transportation:
If you are permanently changing how your child goes home or if you move please notify our office at 317-839-4802, as well as Transportation at 317-838-3632, and submit a new Transportation Form to the office.
