The Bobcat Times

Thank you to all of the wonderful volunteers and families who have signed up to help support Brooker Creek Elementary students during our final few weeks of school through donations and volunteering. Your support truly makes a difference in the lives of our students each day.

Planning for the 2025-2026 school year is well underway. In an effort to always improve the service that the school provides to our students and families; we will be distributing an online family survey next week in the Bobcat Times. This survey is intended to provide parents with an opportunity to reflect on their experience from the past year both as a student and parent. I would ask that all families please take a moment to complete the survey. Thank you once again and have a great weekend.

Where has the month of May gone? I can not believe that there are only 8 school days remaining!!

This week we will be wrapping up our PM3 assessments season. I am hopeful that all students are here on their testing days or have alerted classroom teachers so that alternative testing days can be arranged. I do not want to have to assess any students after Memorial Day.

We are in full preparation mode regarding all of the end of the year activities, celebrations and events that will be taking place during the last week of school. We are pleased to see the student's excitement regarding these events.

Thank you for your continued partnership. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns that you may have.

Thank you for your continued support!

GO BOBCATS!!!
