Brookside Updates

Back in the "Swing of Things"
We have had a great start to the school year. Everyone is settling nicely into our routines. Just a few reminders and updates:
- We have started fire drills. So far, so good! We will do a required lockdown drill on Friday 9/30. Students will be given advance notice and age-appropriate instruction from their teachers so that they understand what to do if a dangerous situation were to arise. We are also glad to have a full-time School Resource Officer on campus to offer his support.

School Breakfast & Lunch Reminder
SV Food Service will be switching from My School Bucks to EZ School Pay! Any funds that are currently on your child's My School Bucks account will be automatically moved into EZ School Pay. However, there will be a two week period of time during the changeover that funds cannot be ADDED to your child's account. This period will begin on Monday, September 26 and continue through Monday, October 10. Beginning on Tuesday, October 11, parents can create an EZ School Pay account.
In the period of the freeze between 9/26 and 10/10, your child can still purchase breakfast or lunch with cash or check. Please send in an envelope, labeled with the child’s full name. You can also drop it off in the office.
