School Safety/Security reminders

Student and staff safety continue to be our number one priority:
  • The Auditorium/Gym doors used by student drivers and students dropped off in the morning will not be open until 6:45 AM. Prior to that time, students must use the Main Entrance.
  • The Main Entrance parking lot is for BUS TRAFFIC and STAFF VEHICLES ONLY from 6:45 AM to 7:30 AM.
  • During arrival time, the main entrance is exclusively for the 500+ students on buses; staff use ID badges at other entrances.
  • Security staff are stationed at the main entrance.
  • Installation of additional surveillance cameras has recently been completed.
  • Construction on the Auditorium/Gym entrance to monitor after-school usage is nearly complete.
  • Requesting quotes for software/hardware they use that requires all students to scan their IDs before entering the building.

School Emergency Protocols

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.

Adjustment to last block hall traffic

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).

Medication during the school day

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.

Food and beverage delivery during school hours

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.

School day arrival

This is a reminder that the official school start time is 7:30 AM. Please allow sufficient travel time to ensure you arrive on campus and are in class before the bell rings.

Please be sure to follow the UPDATED traffic drop-off pattern (click here).  For safety reasons, do not let students out of the vehicle until they are in the drop-off area.  There have been multiple instances of students being dropped off on Long Meadow Hill Road, narrowly avoiding accidents, and causing additional safety concerns.

Chronic tardiness can result in the loss of student parking privileges. Arriving on time is crucial for ensuring students do not miss important instruction.
note

Attendance reminders

If your student is absent from school, a note must be submitted to the school. It could be a parent/guardian note, a doctor's note, or click here to print the attendance form. If you have any questions about attendance, click here to access the document, Understanding BHS-State of CT Attendance Mandates.

School-Based Health Center - Update

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.

Getting to and from school

Click here to access the 25-26 bus routes. In the morning, buses drop students off at the main entrance, and in the afternoon, buses are located both in front of the building and at the auditorium/gym entrance. If a family is dropping a student off in the morning, please click here to access the morning student drop-off procedures. 7:00 AM is the earliest a student should be dropped off. Vehicles picking up students at the end of the day MUST park in the student parking lot and be extremely careful, as this is a VERY busy area with students after school.
