Bobcat Bulletin
Week of September 28th
From the Desk of Mrs. Schmid
We thank you for your continued partnership. I encourage you to work with your child's classroom teacher if you have a question or concern. The classroom teacher should always be your first line of communication.
As you heard at the Board meeting on Monday, we now begin our planning to allow choice for students returning to in-person instruction for second quarter. We have had students in for the last several weeks for specific services. If your student is requested to come to school, please see the two documents: in person instruction procedures and self-certification document. I have also linked these documents below to keep on future Brookdale Bulletins.
If you did not get an opportunity, please complete the district survey. The district is using this data on decisions moving forward for second quarter. Your feedback is incredibly important.
We will continue to provide communication as plans move forward to bring more students back to in-person learning.
Thank you for your continued support!
Alert: Monday Schedule!
Just a reminder that this coming Monday, September 28 is our another Monday in session with students. Remote learning ends at 1:00 p.m. on Mondays.
As a parent/guardian, if you are looking for resources for your child after 1 P.M. please refer to Monday Afternoon Opportunities. These activities are suggestions for independent time on Monday afternoons. The afternoon time does not need to be structured and families may add their own ideas. These activities also do not need to be submitted to the classroom teacher. Because of the amount of technology used during the rest of the week, we included all no screen time options. However, if families are interested, they can access any other software resources students use during remote learning. Teachers will be using this valuable time for professional development and team collaboration.

Happy Birthday, Bobcats!
This year, you can make your student’s birthday CAT-TASTIC with a visit from "Bob" the Brookdale Bobcat! Half-birthdays work, too! Simply sign up using the link below and tell us when you want “Bob” to visit your student. He will arrive between 8-8:30am at the address you provide (it must be within 5 miles of Brookdale, please! Poor Bob’s car doesn’t get the best gas mileage ;)
All participants must wear masks. Bob will greet your student outside their residence, pose for pictures, and hand your student a special birthday gift.
All birthday visits are $20 and must be paid in full before Bob visits. You can pay online via Paypal to Brookdale PTA using the link below.
