Spring Semester Update
- Please call Brookwood Elementary if you did not complete the learning option survey for Spring Semester and plan to do something different than you did during the Fall Semester.

Reminder from the Brookwood Cafe'
Thanks to USDA waiver extensions issued on October 9, Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) is able to offer both breakfast and lunch on school days to all Gwinnett children, ages 18 and younger, at no charge through the end of the school year, including children who are not school-aged and children who are not GCPS students. (Note that GCPS does not provide meals on weekends or on scheduled student holidays.). Meals may be picked up at Brookwood Elementary for digital learners and any child under the age of 18, Monday through Friday, between 12 and 1 p.m. The pick-up each day includes both breakfast and lunch. For safety reasons, individuals are not allowed to enter the school to pick up or eat meals.
The school district encourages families who are eligible for the Free & Reduced Meal Program to fill out the annual application to ensure meal benefits continue after that time. The application is available on the GCPS website or at https://www.nlappscloud.com/.
