Dear Brookfield Community,
As Staff Appreciation Week comes to a close, we want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for our incredible staff. This week has been a wonderful opportunity to truly shower our dedicated educators and support professionals with the love and appreciation they so richly deserve.
We extend a heartfelt thank you to our phenomenal PTA for their unwavering support in making Staff Appreciation Week so special. The thoughtful treats throughout the week – from delicious cookies and a refreshing hydration station to beautiful flowers, heartfelt words of appreciation, tasty popcorn, and a delightful ice cream break – truly brightened everyone's days. Your generosity and care made this week a resounding success.
As an administrative team, we were also thrilled to present each of our staff members with a Brookfield-branded umbrella. With our exciting transition to Broncoville, we hope these umbrellas will not only keep our staff dry on these spring days but also allow them to travel in style, showcasing their Bronco pride!
In other exciting news, our 3rd through 6th-grade students are working incredibly hard as they focus on their SOL assessments. We have been so impressed by their dedication, perseverance, and effort thus far. We know they will continue to shine in the weeks to come, and we are immensely proud of each and every one of them. Please continue to offer them your encouragement and support as they prepare.
On another important note, we want to extend a sincere thank you to all of our students, staff, and families for your patience and understanding during Thursday's pre-arrival evacuation. We recognize that with ongoing renovations come unexpected changes, and the safety of our students and staff remains our absolute top priority. We were so proud of our students and staff for their calm and efficient response, which allowed us to bring everyone back into the building quickly and resume instruction. Your cooperation was truly appreciated.
Finally, as we continue to prioritize the safety of our students, we kindly ask for the ongoing partnership of our families and community members during arrival and dismissal. To ensure a smooth and safe process for everyone, please remember to:
- Proceed slowly through the Kiss and Ride line.
- Adhere to all signage around and on school property.
- Maintain the appropriate speed limit in our school zone.
- Make only a right-hand turn out of the Kiss and Ride lane.
- Comply with all directions provided by Brookfield staff members.
Your attention to these guidelines is crucial in helping us maintain a safe environment for all our students.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend and a very Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers and mother figures in our Brookfield community!
Warmly,
Lesley Hassen, Principal
Margaret Sisler, Assistant Principal
Anthony Ramakis, Assistant Principal

In addition, various student school clubs will be in attendance, showcasing their initiatives and contributions. This year, we're excited to introduce the Student Program Marketplace, a new feature where students will present and sell their handmade goods, with proceeds supporting their respective programs. This initiative is supported and led by Educate Fairfax; a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing educational opportunities for Fairfax County Public Schools students
The Summer Extravaganza will feature:
- Activities for children of all ages that inspire curiosity and a love of learning
