Dear Brookwood Families:

Greetings! The primary purpose of this message is to reconfirm our expectation to return to school on August 10th. While we have not made noteworthy changes to our plans or procedures since my message last week, I would like to reiterate key points from previous messages. 
 
As a reminder, Brookwood School’s decisions about operating are independent of the school systems around us. So, please look for and rely upon the information that comes from Brookwood through emails, our website, and social media. 
 
Please continue to use the Reopening Brookwood School page as your primary source of information about our plans for August. Parents are submitting excellent questions, and we are doing our best to answer them and then post to the FAQ section of the website. If you have additional questions, please send them to BWReopen2020@brookwoodschool.org. Also, please watch our reopening video if you have not done so already.
 
We acknowledge that each operating mode comes with opportunities and challenges. For us to successfully navigate the road ahead, we need your partnership, flexibility, trust, and support. Brookwood is doing everything possible to provide the strongest, and most meaningful student experience in this highly unpredictable and unprecedented educational landscape. 
 
We are continuing to work closely with our Health Advisory committee, composed of five highly-regarded physicians and our School Nurse, to make the wisest decisions moving forward. We will also begin sending our weekly health update starting next Friday.
 
Warriors -- a lot of our communication this summer has been about safety, health, and new procedures. Of course, this is essential as we are entering new and uncharted waters. That said, this school year is about much more than masks, hand sanitizer, temperature screens, and so on. This school year is about reconnecting, learning, and growing together. 
 
We are here for you and we are grateful for your partnership.
 
See you soon,
Dr. Randy Watts
Headmaster
