6th-grade families, make sure you save the date for our annual 6th-grade Camp Wonderland experience. More details will be shared with students and families in the next few weeks!
On Friday, September 5, 2025, Brookwood Middle School came together as a whole school community for our first CharacterStrong Assembly of the year!
Our focus this month is on the character trait of Respect—showing care for ourselves, others, and the world around us. Respect can look like listening attentively, treating others the way we want to be treated, valuing different opinions, and taking care of shared spaces. Practicing respect helps students build stronger relationships, foster a positive school environment, and develop lifelong skills that will serve them at school, home, and in the community.
As part of our character recognition program, every student received a Respect Card. When staff members observe respectful behavior, they will sign and date a student’s card. At the end of the month, students will turn in their cards. Cards with at least three staff signatures will be entered into a prize drawing at the next CharacterStrong Assembly.
We also kicked off the year with our fun “Mustang Round-Up” activities and relays, including:
🐎 Riding a “mustang” (pool noodle horse) through an obstacle course
🤠 Lassoing teammates with hula hoops
🏇 Racing around barrels with our pony
📚 Testing our Brookwood Trivia and Knowledge
In addition, we celebrated our talented student artists, whose drawings were selected for the 2025–2026 Academic Planner!!
We are so proud of our students and look forward to an amazing year ahead!

What a great day to be a Mustang! Today was our first official all staff day back in the buildings. Staff started off with breakfast being provided by our administrators and business office admin assistant — which followed by a district message from School Board President Katie Coari and Superintendent Weber. The rest of the day was filled with trainings and meetings. We can’t wait for the school year to start and get students back in the buildings. See you all on Tuesday at Open House in both buildings from 4pm-7pm.
We are SO excited to introduce to you all our newest Mustang staff members to our Brookwood Family!! We can't wait to start this new school year with them! You may recognize a few of these faces too… as a couple are returning and/or subbed for us in the past! We are so #MustangProud to introduce them to YOU!
If you haven’t registered your student yet or need help in doing so — please attend our on-site registration happening NOW at BMS until 7pm. Registration is required for ALL students in both buildings!!
