Brookwood Families, AT&T has identified that construction has hit two fiber optic cables and AT&T is in the process of fixing it. This has caused outages to our phone lines and internet at both of our schools with other schools and businesses being impacted as well. The report is that it could take 7-8 hours until everything is fully restored. We appreciate your patience during this outage. If you are in need of assistance at either building, please contact the following people:
BES: jayme.wisneski@gcj2.k12.wi.us
BMS: helen.xiong@gcj2.k12.wi.us
Brookwood families, we apologize but the phone lines are currently down at both buildings. If you are in need of assistance, please email our secretaries directly. We will keep you updated once the phone lines are back up. We apologize for this inconvenience.

The plans can be found here: shorturl.at/pCGQU and there is an opportunity for the public to submit comments at the end of the plan.

Brookwood is going blue!!! Students are invited to wear blue on Friday, November 19th to show their support for Diabetes Awareness.
Diabetes is a disease that affects how the body uses glucose, a sugar that is the body's main source of fuel. Your body needs glucose to keep running.
There are two major types of diabetes are type 1 and type 2. In type 1 diabetes, the pancreas can't make insulin. The body can still get glucose from food but the glucose can't get into the cells where it's needed. Glucose stays in the blood, which makes the blood sugar level very high and causes health problems. To fix the problem, someone with type 1 diabetes needs to take insulin.
Type 2 diabetes is different from type 1 diabetes. In type 2 diabetes, the pancreas still makes insulin, but the insulin doesn't work in the body like it should and blood sugar levels get too high.
Scientists are looking for ways to make it easier to check blood sugar levels and give insulin. They're also trying to find ways to get insulin into the body without shots. And there's hope that one day a cure will be found.
Even though kids with diabetes have to do some special things, it doesn't keep them from doing the stuff they love. They can still play sports, go out with their friends, and go on trips. So if you have a friend with diabetes, let him or her know you can deal with it. Being friends is all about having fun together, not having a perfect pancreas!
