WELCOME AND WELCOME BACK

The hallways have been quiet, the

walls have been bare, the school bell has

not rung, and our parking lot has been

empty; oh how we’ve missed you! We

have been working diligently through

the summer to present to our students

the campus they deserve! Fresh paint graces our walls, new technology has

been placed in all classrooms, a new parking lot, parent drop off line, brand new library and much more, are some of

the few things that you will notice. It

has been a busy summer in preparation

for the school year, but our campus is

ready and we hope our students are too!

For our new families we would like to

welcome you to our school and for our

returning families we would like to

welcome you back and thank you for

allowing Brooks Academy to be the

school that you have chosen for your

most precious gifts; your children. We

take it not only as an honor but a

challenge to expand their knowledge and

present to them the best school year

yet! This newsletter will be one of the

many tools that will be used to

communicate to our families’ important

dates, information and campus news. We

look forward to a great school year. Go

Bengals!

Oh How We’ve Missed You!

A Message from Your Head of School

Hello Bengal families, I was very pleased during the first week of school. As I

greeted many of you and your students, it reminds me that we are here to impact

student success. There are great things happening at BASE. It is my hope that

you will meet any challenges with determination, excitement and celebrate all that

makes everyone special.

Education is a joint venture between school and home. As we work with our

students to help them learn about the world around them through the prescribed

curriculum, we very much appreciate the support that parents give their children at

home as they strive to reach their learning goals. The foundation of a successful

school is the cooperation between the students, staff, parents and community.

Parents are a vital part of the Brooks School Community. Your contributions are

invaluable to the school through volunteer time and support of school activities.

I look forward to working with you and developing a relationship that will assist

in the growth of your student/students.

Sincerely,

Mrs. S. Coleman, Principal

Upcoming Events

1. Establish a routine If your family has not established a consistent bed time and wake up routine, you might find that the first few weeks back will be rough. It is never too late however, so start today. Students not only learn better when they’ve received adequate rest but your mornings will go a lot smoother without the resistance of a tired, grumpy student.

2. Eat a healthy breakfast Although this may seem like a given, statistics show that most student do not eat an adequate breakfast that will fuel them for their day. Stopping at the drive-thru for an occasional quick breakfast is okay, however should not be routine. Instead opt for brain power foods such as; fruits, eggs, whole grains etc.

3. Talk about their day Ask the right questions! This is key to getting the most information you can out of your students’ day. An example I do with my children is “Tell me the best part of your day. Now tell me the worse part of your day” This usually gives me all the information I need to assess if there is something I should be concerned with and what they deemed was exciting during their school day.
