Family Info

Welcome to Brookside Elementary! We are pleased to have you join our school community. The PTA has put together a family brochure for parents who are new to our school. It provides pertinent information from a "newbie" perspective. It can be found here. Membership: We encourage you to join Brookside’s award-winning PTA, which has enjoyed 100% membership the last three years. This level of parent involvement allows our PTA to provide so much for the students, teachers, and families at our school! For a small cost, the benefits are great. Watch for PTA membership forms to come home with your child in “kid mail” during the first week of school. Volunteerism: Our volunteers are what make Brookside PTA great!! Please consider signing up to volunteer for one of our many projects and events. See the “What’s Your Passion?” sheet for ideas and opportunities, from short one-time events taking a few hours of your time, or on-going projects that last all year….any time you can give will be greatly appreciated. Fundraising: Brookside PTA does have several fundraisers throughout the year, starting on the first day of school with our direct donation campaign, “Pass the Hat”. Your participation in any of the fundraisers is completely voluntary. We offer a variety of fundraisers in order to allow everyone to participate at some level; you may choose to participate in all the fundraisers, or pick and choose what feels right for your family. Of course, the greater the success of our fundraisers, the more PTA can enrich our school’s learning environment for all students.
