Parent Involvement
The parent body at the school is active and involved, making contributions on every level, from offering their talents and services in the class room, fundraising, and student recruitment. Our families seek a school environment in which their children are nurtured, where creativity is encouraged, and where parent suggestions are valued.
The PTO has been a great asset for the school with representation from parents, teachers, and the administrative staff. This group works to enhance the educational experience at the school by fundraising and volunteering for events. In the past, this group of dedicated people have been able to purchase tables and chairs for the classrooms and multipurpose room where "community lunches" occur; plant trees on the grounds for Arbor Day; purchase a sound system for presentations; provide recycling bins for each classroom; and give monetary donations for special class trips. The PTO staffs all the themed community lunches which are educational/cultural. Parents have also given presentations to the children on topics ranging from culture to the environment during the “All Schools” (assemblies for students) or at the community lunch.
In 2004, a group of parents started the Brookwood Advisory Group, now called the Parent/Teacher Organization (PTO), whose purpose is to provide assistance in the following areas:
- increase parent involvement in and understanding of Brookwood
- improve communications
- improve Brookwood's financial stability
- organize volunteer activities
The PTO has been meeting once a month at the school.
