DRAFT DRAFT Brookside Community

This has been a very exciting and successful year for the students and staff at Brookside! As a staff we have worked hard to continue to improve our mathematics and reading instruction through professional development and data analysis. Our students have continued to achieve at high levels academically, as well as be highly involved in our school and community. We continue to have large numbers of students participating in Band, Orchestra, and Chorus as well as the Jr. Lighthouse Team and our after-school clubs. I am continually amazed (and proud) of how involved our students are, and how well-rounded they are. It is truly a pleasure and privilege to work with them and to serve as their Principal.

Looking ahead to summer, please be aware the main office remains open for any questions you may have. Feel free to call with any updates or changes to your address or phone numbers to ensure that you receive our summer mailer in mid-August. (966-4800)

We wish all of you a safe and enjoyable summer!

Sincerely,

Anitra Huchzermeier

For Flag Day the entire school went outside to celebrate.

Field day was an incredible success!

KidsCare will once again be offering a summer program for K-5 Greece Central students. This year’s theme is Back to the Future and we are very busy planning engaging activities based around time travel! Please review the 2024 Summer Program flier. Registration will open on March 18th for current KidsCare families and we will begin processing registrations from applicants across the district on April 1st.

Additionally, it is also time to start thinking about your before and after school needs for the 2024-2025 school year. Please review the new school year flier and note that registration for the fall will open on April 15th. All summer and fall registrations are processed through My School Bucks and require that you have your account set up first, and then, continue to register at msbactivities.com using your same username and password from My School Bucks.

If you need support in the registration process please reach out to heather.barton@greececsd.org or kellygiudice@greececsd.org. You can also contact our office by phone at 966-2456.

Please see this Partnership Toolkit for information about the new ARC Core program we are implementing beginning in the 2024-2025 school year for ELA instruction.

Did you know you can watch the Brookside Morning Show at home? The students do a wonderful job and if you haven't taken a look you are missing out!
