The message that was just sent had the wrong days. We are dismissing, today, Thursday, and tomorrow, which is Friday. We have quite a few buses without air conditioning. Thank you again!
Brookland Public Schools will be dismissing at 1:30 today, (Thursday), as well as tomorrow, Friday, August 25th. This reason for this early dismissal is the extreme heat indexes over the next 2 days. Your student's safety and health are important to us. CAT Club will be in session. Thank you for your patience and help with this.
Both football games this week have been pushed back to 8:00pm start times due to heat.
Thursday… Gosnell @ Brookland 8:00pm. JRH only.
Friday… @ Westside 8:00pm.

Thank you everyone for your patience as we implement Rooms in the Brookland SD app. Because of some of the issues, we are going to post rosters early at 8am on Monday at the Primary, Elementary, and Middle Schools. For those still needing access to Rooms, you will receive your child's magic code at Open House this week. Once you get your code, you will go to id.edurooms.com/signup to create your account. Once you agree to the terms of service, you will then be able to log into the app.
Due to server issues from the power outages and storms this morning, Rooms will launch a little later than expected but it will still happen today. Parents should expect a text and/or email with information on how to set up their accounts.
Parents: If you plan for your child to ride a bus during the 2023-24 school year, please complete this form. It is for students in grades K-12 and must be completed each year.

If you do not have the BPS app, you definitely want to get it soon!!! Search "Brookland SD" in your app store. This app will be the main communication tool for parents for the upcoming school year. Teacher messages, class announcements, student schedules and grades will all be under this one platform. Go ahead and download it now for your device! More information will follow on how to connect to your child and their teachers will be posted in the coming days.

Little Cats are about to start! Parents - Please stay weather aware and keep checking Facebook for changes or in the event of any early dismissal.
Little Cats start time has been pushed back to 6:30 tonight due to storm. Registration 6-6:30 at the fieldhouse.
