Thank you for partnering with us for a great start to the school year! 💛🐴 #theBESt

Today, our students and staff participated in our state-required safety drills for fire, severe weather, bomb threat, and hard lockdown. These drills help us practice what to do in different emergency situations so that everyone knows how to respond calmly and safely if we were ever to need them.
We understand that these drills can sometimes feel a little unsettling for our young learners. Your child may mention them at home or have questions. While we always reassure students that these drills are just practice, it’s normal for them to feel curious, or even a bit nervous, afterward.
How you can help at home:
Ask open-ended questions: Instead of “Were you scared?” try,
“What did your teacher do during the drill?”
“What did you do to help keep yourself safe?”
“What was the easiest part of the drill for you?”
Reassure them: Let them know drills are like seatbelts — we practice so we know what to do, but it doesn’t mean something bad will happen.
Keep it age-appropriate: Give simple, honest answers without adding unnecessary details. For example, “We practice so our teachers know how to keep everyone safe” is usually enough for younger children.
Highlight the positives: Remind them that they did a great job listening to their teachers and following directions.
Thank you for partnering with us to keep our students safe and confident. If you have any questions or if your child needs extra reassurance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
With care,
BettyJo Davis
Principal, Brooks Elementary

As a reminder:
Please follow the attached visual for the morning car line.
Green line = entry route
Orange line = exit route
Red Line= Stop locations
Follow the directions of our staff—your cooperation helps everything flow quickly and safely.
Have your student ready to exit as you pull up.
For safety, please have students seated and ready to exit curb side only.
Your attention to these details not only keeps everyone safe, but also starts our students’ day in a calm, positive way. We appreciate you more than you know! 💛🐴





We can’t wait to see our students on Aug. 12! 🐴✨

We are gearing up for a week of hands-on, meaningful learning during Kentucky Agriculture Week, and our theme says it all:
“My Kentucky Home Provides What I Need.”
We’re so grateful to the amazing volunteers who have already committed to being part of this experience:
💚 Good Shipp Alpaco Company
💚 Caitlin Atherton & Jenn Cox – proud BES family members!
We’re still looking for a few more farmers, makers, growers, or community members who’d love to set up a Farmers Market table or bring something to our outdoor farm display (think animals, equipment, handmade goods, etc.) to show students how agriculture impacts their everyday lives.
📅 It’s just one day or everyday during KY Ag Week—you choose!
📝 Sign up here: https://forms.gle/2hDiF7vKPAJrC2UL9
Let’s make this a week our students will never forget! 💫

Are you passionate about helping Brooks Elementary be the very best it can be? We are looking for two parent representatives to serve on our Site-Based Decision Making (SBDM) Council for the 2025–2026 school year!
✅ What is SBDM?
SBDM is a monthly team that meets for about 1 to 1.5 hours. Together, we review important school data, help make school improvement decisions, and ensure that family voices are heard as we shape the future of Brooks.
👪 Who can serve?
We need two parents or guardians who:
Have a student currently enrolled at Brooks Elementary
Do not work for Bullitt County Public Schools
Do not have an immediate family member working for Bullitt County Public Schools

We truly depend on our families to help guide our decisions and make Brooks a place where every student thrives.
