Superstar families,
It was a very fun week here at Brook Park with our Book Fair, 100th Day of School and first full week of One School One Book! Please read about more upcoming events coming up soon:
Kindness Spirit Week-February 13th-17th
We are very excited to celebrate Kindness Week next week! Please see the attached schedule for the different spirit days for each day of the week.
Kindergarten Enrollment 2023-2024:
Thank you to our many families who attended our Kindergarten enrollment events over the last two weeks!
If you were unable to attend, but have a child who will be five on or before September 1, 2023; please be sure to start the online enrollment process and then make an appointment with Mrs. Montefinese ([email protected]) or Mrs. Chobot ([email protected]) to bring in your residency documents.
Spring Clubs!
The Spring Club Brochure is here with a record number of 34 clubs being offered! When selecting clubs for your student on the interest form please pay close attention to the offered grade levels, there will be no exceptions made.
The Student interest form is now open and is due by Friday, February 24, 11:59 PM. No late forms will be accepted.
*NEW THIS SESSION - POTENTIAL FOR 2 CLUB PLACEMENTS*
When completing the interest form, there is now a new option to select 1 or 2 clubs you can commit your student to participate in, but it is not a guarantee. With so many clubs running this session I want our families to be sure their students can attend as we have experienced a lot of dropouts in the past which can lead to a club not being able to run at all.
Please review the FAQ document before reaching out with questions!
