The Mustang Minute
Week of May 30th
FROM THE PRINCIPALS' OFFICES
We made it! We have only four days left of the school year, and then before we know it summer will be upon us! This last week will certainly be a busy one. Here are some important reminders:
- Today is the LAST day to order your Brookwood School Supply Bundle. If you would like to order a bundle, there is still a bit of time. Simply call your student's school before 3:30pm and we will help you to complete your order.
- Teachers have already begun collecting and inventorying student chromebooks and chargers at BMS, so these will no longer be traveling home with students. Families will be notified by their child's homeroom teacher in the event that any items are missing. Please note that if your child will be participating in Virtual Academic Coaching in July, his/her chromebook will be available for pick up in the main office of their school the week of June 27th.
- There will be NO SCHOOL on Monday, May 30th in observance of Memorial Day. We hope you will join us in honoring the men and women who have died while fighting for our liberties by attending the Memorial Day Program at BES at 10am.
- There will be NO Academic Lab this week.
- This Tuesday 5/31 is the deadline for permission slips for the 8th grade dance. These need to be turned into Mrs. Metcalf by the end of the school day.
- June 2nd will be a half day for 8th graders. We will rehearse for graduation in the morning, and students will be released at 11:55am (parent pick up or walking only, no buses).
- 8th Grade Graduation will be held on Thursday, June 2nd at 6:30pm at BMS. All are invited to attend as we wish our graduates the best of luck in high school and beyond. We plan to hold the ceremony outdoors; the gym will be used as an alternate location in the case of inclement weather.
- Friday, June 3rd is a half day for all students. BMS students will be released at 11:30am and BES students at 12:20pm. Report cards and next year's homeroom teacher placements will be sent home with all students as well on this day. If your student is not in attendance on this day, then we will mail their grade report to you.
This will be the LAST Mustang Minute of the school year, folks! We will resume publication in mid August, so that you are all well informed going into the first week of school. We hope you all have an amazing summer!
Mr. Braden and Mrs. Franz

Brookwood Bundles School Supplies 2022-2023
Greetings Brookwood Families!
We are excited to once again offer our school supply program, Brookwood Bundles. The teachers have thoughtfully prepared a school supply list for the 2022-2023 school year, and we are pleased to offer an opportunity to purchase these supplies right here from your school!
The grade level supplies will be gathered into convenient and easy-to-use bundles. They will include all of the supplies needed for the school year and will be ready and waiting for your child in their classroom on Open House Night in August. There is no need to brave the busy stores and worry if you’ll find all of the items on the list. Our team will take care of all the details so that you may enjoy your precious summer days!
The end of the school year is fast approaching and schedules are filling up quickly. Please take a moment out of your busy schedule to consider this opportunity. Each bundle purchased will help support our Families in Need school supply program. Thank you for your support!
