Brookfield High School is using a new online scheduling platform (pickAtime) for scheduling parent-teacher conferences. All of your interactions, from creating an account, to scheduling conferences and viewing your schedule, will be done using the online portal.  

The online scheduling platform for parents to book conferences will be open through Monday, November 3, 2025, at 6:00 PM. 

If you have any questions, please contact me at balandam@brookfieldps.org

There has been an excessive amount of student hall traffic at the end of each school day which leads to classroom disruptions. To that end, the administration will be restricting passes for the last 15 minutes of the block (2:00 PM - 2:15 PM).

On behalf of the Class of 2027 Class Advisors:

The BHS apparel store is now open to all students, staff, and parents, as well as the Class of 2027! If the Class of 2027 chooses to add their class logo, they can personalize their gear. All purchases help raise money for the Class of 2027, so please consider showing your school spirit and supporting your class by buying some merch! The store will be open for three weeks, so don’t miss your chance to order!

To honor Veterans Day on November 11, Brookfield High School's Student Government is sponsoring activities including a video series and a panel discussion with local veterans.

Students, while on school property, are not to have any medication (prescription or over-the-counter) in their possession.  When medication is necessary, it will be administered to the student by the clinic staff following receipt of a signed order by a physician and written parental permission.  Medical permission forms can be obtained in the clinic.

Students and families of the Class of 2029 are invited to the Freshman Forum on November 20, 2025 from 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM in the Brookfield High School Auditorium. 

The transition to high school brings with it a pivotal time for student independence and risk-taking. This forum will equip families with the knowledge to talk to their children about topics related to substance abuse, gambling, and other behavioral health topics. Presentations will be shared by the Western CT Coalition, Generation SOS, the Brookfield High School School Counseling Department, and Brookfield CARES. Parents are strongly encouraged to bring their 9th graders with them to stimulate additional conversations after the forum.

Additional information will be shared as we get closer to the event. 

Students may not order food for delivery during the school day. If a student forgets to bring their lunch, a parent/guardian may drop off food, and the Main Office will hold it until the student's scheduled lunch period. We have also seen an increase in parents/guardians dropping off beverages other than water (such as coffee and frozen drinks) during the school day. Students are not allowed to have these beverages in class.

Here is a link to "All Things for the BHS Class of 2026" document outlining important dates and events for parents and students of the BHS Class of 2026.

Brookfield Public Schools is implementing an updated, nationally recognized process to respond to emergencies, Standard Response Protocol (SRP). I shared information about the protocol with students and staff this week during ILT. It was an initial presentation, and we will continue to explore and practice how we will implement these protocols at Brookfield High School. More information will be shared in the coming weeks. This is a copy of the SRP poster that will be placed in every classroom and office across the school. If you would like more information, click here to go to the SRP website.

The CIFC School-Based Health Center at Brookfield High School operates as an independent healthcare provider, working closely with students and their families. The provider only works with school staff with the explicit approval of the student and their parent/guardian. 

CIFC currently provides mental health support several days a week. Please CLICK HERE to read the letter from our School-Based Healthcare therapist, Samatha Mei. She has been a wonderful addition to our community and a fantastic resource for students and families.
