Brookland Middle School

Time to set those clocks!!

Mrs. Buttgen’s student, John Enger, taught his class about seashells he collected on a recent trip to Florida! 🏖️

Mrs. Smith's classes studied light energy by making their own flashlights!

Join the coaches for a Q&A on all things Brookland Middle School Dance!

We want to thank our community for your engagement, thoughtfulness, and participation in yesterday’s election.

It was truly inspiring to see the passion and care so many people have for Brookland schools. The conversations, questions, and involvement on both sides of the issue reflect a community that deeply values its students and its future.

We are grateful to serve a community that cares so strongly about its schools, and we remain committed to providing the very best for our students every single day.

Last night the BPS School Board approved the 2026-27 BPS School Calendar for the next school year. It is a "minutes" calendar with five snow days built in. The school day start and end times will stay the same as they are now.

Today is Election Day, and polls are open until 7:30 p.m. We are incredibly grateful to our community for your thoughtful consideration, and your continued support of Brookland School District. Regardless of how you choose to vote, your involvement and care for our schools and our students mean so much. Thank you for being part of our shared commitment to the future of Brookland. If you have not yet voted, please remember to exercise your right before polls close this evening.

MS Cheer Tryout Date Change!

Our community has experienced a heartbreaking loss. One of our football players passed away, and our hearts are heavy. He was a kind-hearted young man who was loved by so many — a teammate, a friend, a son, and an important part of our school family. Please keep his family, our football team, and our entire school community in your prayers during this incredibly difficult time. We do not have arrangements at this time, but we will share updates as they become available. There has been a GoFund Me set up in his memory. https://www.gofundme.com/f/in-memory-of-zeke-hensley/cl/o?lang=en_US We will have counselors available for students and staff to help during this difficult time.

4th graders enjoyed a visit from Molly the Megabody! The Jonesboro Junior Auxiliary came to show our 4th graders the parts of the body and how to stay healthy!
