Lots of great things coming up in November at BPES. Check out each flier and Choose Your Way for learning and growth. We are excited for such a great fall calendar, we hope to see you soon!

As a reminder, on Monday, November 4, 2024, we will close our morning drop-off doors at 7:55 a.m. We begin welcoming students into the building at 7:40 a.m. each day. This adjustment allows us to ensure that students are seated and ready to begin their day promptly when the bell rings at 8:00am. Any student arriving after 7:55am will not be able to enter through the side door and must be accompanied by an adult into the front office to sign in. Please make the necessary arrangements to ensure that your child is dropped off no later than 7:55 a.m., so they can start their day smoothly.

It's another beautiful, late fall day outside and whether you're already out and about or just need something to do, head to any Always Ice Cream Company location and pick up a scoop (or two, or a pint, or ...) of the official AACPS flavor, Smart Cookie! The flavor is available all month long and a portion of the proceeds goes to the Education Foundation of AACPS to give back to our students and schools! #AACPSFamily #BelongGrowSucceed #WeLoveIceCream

Brooklyn Park Elementary School will be closed on November 1, 2024, as our staff will be engaging in professional development activities.

Growing a great team takes investment, so we sent teams from Human Resources, Professional Learning and Organizational Advancement, and Curriculum and Assessments to recruit the best and brightest at the University of Maryland College Park. #StrategicPlanPriority3 #BelongGrowSucceed #AACPSFamily #WeLoveTerpsInAACPS To see our Strategic Plan, go to www.aacps.org/strategicplan.

This is just a reminder that there is no Kindness Club meeting after school today. We will see those students in the club next week.

Dress up day tomorrow! Students can dress up as their favorite character, Halloween costumes, or wear fancy clothes. We will have a parade inside to celebrate everyone in our school. This is not a Halloween celebration. Students may not have weapons or masks and need to be prepared for recess and/or PE with school shoes.
