Morning Car Rider Reminder
Each morning, car rider drop-off begins at 8:20 am. We request you enter the car rider line no earlier than 8:20 am and no later than 8:40 am. This is the time frame during which the line will be moving for arrival and ensures that your child will not be tardy for school.
Important Early Check Out Information
A couple reminders for checking out your student early from Brookwood Elementary School:
- The latest time for check out is 2:45 p.m. After 2:45 p.m., your student will need to be picked up as a car rider.
- Have your picture ID with you and ready to present to the front desk staff member.
