BROOKVIEW ELEMENTARY
PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Welcome to Brookview Elementary School! I am honored that you chose us, Brookview, to educate your child. It is a tremendous honor and one that I take very seriously. You can count on us to motivate, encourage, and celebrate your child. We utilize engaging and student centered learning to make learning fun! You are always welcome at Brookview and I encourage you to join us for Meet the Teacher Night on Wednesday, August 28th from 5pm-6:30pm right here at Brookview.
At Brookview, we see the greatness in each and every student. Our approach to student success is based on the personalized learning framework. This is important to us because we believe that learning should be differentiated to meet the needs of all students. We believe that having quality, inspirational and passionate teachers is essential to a school's success. To borrow John Hattie's words; "teachers should build classroom climates where errors are welcome, student engagement is the norm, questioning is high and students gain reputations as effective learners."

EMERGENCY PRACTICE DRILLS
Dear Brookview Families,
I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know how excited the Brookview family is about the start of the school year and to share our process for emergency preparedness. In an effort to make sure our students and staff understand and know what to do in the case of emergencies, we plan practice drills throughout the school year. Some of these drills include procedures we practice monthly, like fire drills, and some we practice only a few times during the year, like wind/tornado drills.
We wanted you to be aware of the types of drills that we practice together in the event of a school safety concern so that you can talk with your students about these situations if they should come home with questions.
Fire Drills – Students and staff evacuate their classrooms and exit the building. All classrooms report to a designated location outside of the school building. During these drills, cars entering campus will be stopped by staff until our perimeter is clear of students and staff.
Wind/Tornado Drills – Students and staff report to designated locations in the building away from large windows and doors with windows. During this drill, our exterior doors will be locked so that all office staff can participate as well.
Lockdown Drills – Our buildings are secured internally and externally. Students remain with staff and wait for directions. During these drills, if you visit campus, you may see law enforcement agencies like Warren Police, parked on our campus supporting this practice.
Bus Evacuation Drills – Students practice exiting the bus using emergency exits upon arriving to school. During these drills, cars entering campus will be stopped by staff until our perimeter is clear of students and staff.
I appreciate your support and ask that you reach out with any questions.
Mr. Jeremy Coleman, Principal
