It was brought to our attention this week that traffic on School Street is being backed up by people traveling in the right lane in order to turn right onto Hickory Street. If you are not dropping off your child at the Junior High or High School, please stay in the left lane at least until Bernis Street. Thank you for your help and patience as we continue to work with traffic issues.
Brookland Cat Club was voted Best of Northeast Arkansas for our after school school and summer camp programs. Thank you to everyone that voted! Congratulations Cat Club! #bearcatproud, #thebearcatway
Parents,
The car rider line text should have said 2:40 instead of 1:40. I apologize for the error. Again, car rider line begins at 2:40.
Parents,
Just a reminder: please do not line up for car line on Hickory, Oak, or 49B in the afternoons until 2:40 p.m.
Important Medical Information from our Nurses:
Medication :
*If your child is on medication our nurses need to know! If your child takes medication at school, please bring that to open house, so you can coordinate with the nurse. This will ensure your child will be ready to receive that medication on the first day of school.
Immunization Reminders :
* High School - If you have turned 16 since Sept. 1, 2023 you need a second immunization for Meningitis.
* Fifth and sixth graders who have turned 11, OR 7th graders that did not get these boosters prior: are required to get a tetanus and meningitis vaccine in order to be current on immunizations. These vaccines must be given after the eleventh birthday and cannot be administered sooner.
Primary School :
*Please be sure your student has had their kindergarten physicals and vaccinations. Appointments can be made at any Arkansas Health Department. If you have an exemption from immunizations a new form must be turned in by the first day of school.

We want to thank the Brookland Police and Craighead County Sherriff's Department for their communications with us throughout the situation. At no time were our students or staff in any danger, but the Brookland School District will always place safety first.
Thank you all for your patience and understanding.
