What a super week at Brook Park and we are excited about next week's spirit week and we have attached the information below. This is by no means mandatory and we are always looking for ways to continue to add fun in the school year. We have a Parent University on Wednesday, at Brook Park, that is titled Adjusting to the New School year: How to Incorporate New Routines, Cope With Changes and Support Your Students at Home. Also, an important reminder as we are well into the school year, to please make sure you make any dismissal changes by 2:00 PM to make sure the office has time to update your child’s dismissal plan. Thanks for your help in this!
Please take some time to read through everything as there is a lot coming up still in October including the BPC Trunk or Treat that is happening tonight!
October 24th-October 28th will be Red Ribbon Week at Brook Park. We will have a special spirit week that staff and students are encouraged to dress up using the themes listed below:
Monday=Red-Y to live a healthy life (Wear Red)
Tuesday=Head to toe healthy (Crazy socks or crazy hair)
Wednesday=Be strong and kind (Wear superhero apparel)
Thursday=”Peace out” to bad habits (Wear tie dye)

Parent University
District-wide Parent Education Night will take place at Brook Park on Wednesday, October 26th at 6:30 p.m. Will be presented by Katie Johns, District Behavior Specialist, and titled: Adjusting to the new school year: How to incorporate new routines, cope with changes and support your students at home.

Halloween Happenings at Brook Park:
Halloween will be a special celebration at Brook Park School. On Monday, October 31st, children will be allowed to dress for our Annual Halloween Party & Parade. In order to ensure the safe passage of our children to/from school and preserve part of the academic day, we have established the following guidelines:
If your child is planning on bringing a treat for their classmates, the treats should be non-edible such as pencils, stickers, etc. Edible treats are not allowed and will be sent home with the child.
Children may wear their complete costume to school for the entire day. They do not have to take it off and change into different clothes.
Students will be allowed to wear face paint or color their hair as part of their costumes; they must arrive like this, they cannot do this at school.
Toy weapons will not be allowed as part of a costume.
Shoes must be worn at all times (gym shoes are recommended).
Students are not required to dress in costumes or participate in the activities. Please let your child’s teacher know if they will not be participating in the Halloween activities.
As a security measure: Only parents that have signed up in advance as volunteers will be allowed in the school for the parties. We will be asking parents for IDs upon entry. Grades K, 1 and 2 parents will enter Door #4, grades 3, 4 and 5 parents will enter through Door #1. Younger children may accompany parents to parties but they need to be closely monitored at all times. If you have strollers please keep them in the hallway. The BPC will be coordinating the volunteers for the event.
We would ask for your cooperation and support in our attempt to have a safe and fun-filled day.
Weather permitting, our school parade will be outside at 8:30 a.m. In case of rain/snow, our parades will take place in the hallways throughout the building. If the parade has to take place inside, parents will be sent a Zoom link to view the parade virtually.
A one-hour party (9:00-10:00) will follow the parade. Please e-mail ([email protected] or [email protected]) if you have any questions.
