Superstar families,
We had a great week here at Brook Park! Please take some time to read about a lot of important and exciting things:
Dismissal/Arrival:
As the weather continues to get colder, please help us keep all of our students and families safe at arrival and dismissal:
-Please do not park on Harrison. Harrison is for our buses only.
-Utilize the crosswalks when crossing the street and do not cross in front of the car line. Please do not have students get out in the middle of the car line. Students should be dropped off at Door 1 or 21.
-Please stay on the street on Raymond if you are using the car line, do not pull into the driveway as this causes traffic confusion. If you need to assist your child, please pull into a parking spot in the front of the school.
-Do not have children play on the snow mountains after school. As the temperature continues to decline, these mounds are made of solid ice and we want to avoid any injuries. Thank you for your cooperation in all of these matters!
Kindergarten Enrollment:
If you have a child who will be five years old on or before September 1, 2022, please fill out the form here to sign up for a time slot for Kindergarten enrollment on February 18th.
Before coming, please fill out the online enrollment beginning on February 1st.
We will send you a confirmation email to confirm your time closer to the date of the event. We are looking forward to welcoming our next group of Kindergarteners to Brook Park!
Virtual Music Performances:
Hello Brook Park families! Due to social distancing guidelines, we have decided that our music performances this year featuring the students of Brook Park School will be video-based. The students will be making performance videos of what they are learning during music class, and those will be compiled into a grade level video for viewing on YouTube. The link from YouTube will be unlisted and the videos will not be publicly published. Also, there will be no student names in the videos. If you have any questions about our virtual performances or details about unlisted videos, please email Ms. Smiley at [email protected]
Devices:
If your child is bringing home their device, please be sure to have them bring it to school the next day and have it fully charged.
2-2-22
On February 2nd to celebrate 2-2-22, we will be having a school spirit day where staff and students are invited to wear tutus or school spirit wear or colors. Save your items because we will also have a special celebration on Tuesday, 2-22-22.
Valentine’s Day ❤️ :
Valentine's Day will be celebrated on Monday, February 14. Students are allowed to bring in Valentine's Day cards only. Gift bags, pencils, and other such items will not be allowed and returned if brought to school. Please leave the envelopes of the cards blank for their easy and independent distribution by your child.
Valentine's Day cards are sweet gestures of friendship that support building our classroom communities without the added pressure to purchase small gifts for the entire class. Valentine’s Day cards can be brought in either Friday, February 11th or Monday, February 14th.
SEL Blurb:

We are inviting parents to complete the 5 Essentials Survey about Brook Park School and the link is http://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/survey/parent/ This information is important for us to grow as a school. The survey is open from Jan. 11, 2022 and closes March 11, 2022.
