Brookfield High School uses an online scheduling platform (pickAtime) for scheduling conferences.  You will complete all tasks, from creating an account to scheduling conferences and viewing your schedule, through the online portal.    

The online scheduling platform for parents to book conferences will be open from 8:00 AM on Friday, October 23, 2026, to 12:00 PM on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.  

Brookfield High School has been accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) since 1968.   We are beginning a self-reflection process in preparation for an evaluation team visit in October 2027.  

To support that self-reflection, all students, families, and faculty members will complete surveys to provide important feedback on our work. We hope to learn more about what is working well for our students and identify areas for growth and improvement. Every student will have an opportunity to complete the survey during the school day.  

Parents/guardians will also be surveyed, so please look out for an upcoming ParentSquare message from me with the survey link. We ask that every family complete one survey. You do not need to complete multiple surveys if you have more than one student in the school. The survey is mobile-ready and can be completed on a computer, tablet, or phone.

For additional information about NEASC accreditation, please visit https://www.neasc.org/accreditation/pathways/public-schools.

Students dealing with stress, anxiety, emotional challenges, or who just need someone to talk to can access behavioral health services right at BHS. All BHS students can access services, regardless of insurance or ability to pay.

We use the Standard Response Protocol (SRP), a nationally recognized process for responding to emergencies. This is a copy of the SRP poster that is in every classroom and office across the school. For more information, click here to visit the SRP website.
