Brooks Crossing and Deans School Newsletter - 10/24/18
Introducing our redesigned parent school newsletter, The Crossing!
Welcome to Brooks Crossing and Deans! We are a two-campus school community.
Please stay informed and be mindful of due dates, so you do not miss an opportunity you may be interested in for you or your child. You can stay informed by reading this school newsletter, looking over our Online Friday Folder each week, and checking your child's Parent/Teacher Communication folder daily. In the district's efforts to "go green", most of our information is only online, so it is very important to check our Online Friday Folder weekly!
