Dear Brooklyn Park Families,

We have received several calls and emails regarding student attire for tomorrow, Friday, October 30, and wanted to take a moment to clarify our expectations.

We enjoyed celebrating Book Character Day on October 27 and loved seeing our students bring their favorite book characters to life! This was our designated opportunity for students to dress in costumes at school.

As we do not have any additional costume celebrations planned at Brooklyn Park, students should not wear costumes to school tomorrow, Friday, October 30. Students should attend school in their regular school attire.

We appreciate your understanding and support as we work together to maintain a positive, safe, and focused learning environment for all students.

Dear BPES Families,

After several years of advocating for the replacement of our school roof, I am excited to share that the project is officially moving forward!

AACPS has approved a contractor to begin the roof replacement process in mid-October. Because this work cannot take place during the school day, construction crews will primarily work during evening hours and on weekends over the next several months. The first phase will focus on replacing the most significantly damaged section of our roof.

This will be a multi-phase project. Work will likely pause during the winter months, resume during spring break, and continue into the summer, when we anticipate the remaining work will be completed.

I wanted to make our community aware of the project because you may notice construction crews and equipment on school grounds during evenings and weekends. After meeting with the project manager and reviewing the construction plan, we anticipate very little disruption to the areas surrounding the school or to our regular school-day operations. The areas crews will use have been carefully mapped out with student and staff safety in mind.

We are incredibly excited to see this long-awaited project begin! Our roof has experienced persistent leaks over the past several years, and reaching this point has taken determination, patience, and continued advocacy. I am grateful for the support of our staff, families, community, and AACPS partners who helped move this important improvement forward.

We will continue to keep families informed as the project progresses. As always, the safety of our students, staff, and community remains our priority.

If you have any questions or concerns throughout the process, please do not hesitate to reach out to the school.

Thank you for your continued support of BPES. We are excited to finally see this project underway!
