Welcome!
We're so happy to welcome you to Brooks! As Associate Director of Parent and Alumni Programs I would like to introduce myself -- Nicole Mallen Jackson '95 -- since you will be hearing from me quite often. I know firsthand what a truly enriching experience lies ahead for your child and hope you are as excited as we all are that your family has joined our community. 
 
Intermittently throughout the summer, and then beginning weekly in mid-August for the entirety of the school year, you will receive a parent e-newsletter from this address: njackson@brooksschool.org . In it, you will find announcements, reminders, the weekend's activities, upcoming events and much more. (You can even see examples from this past year in our newsletter archives ). My hope is that it provides you with a clear sense of the happenings here at school. 
 
The Parent page of the Brooks website is a great resource where you can find school contacts, FAQ, the yearly calendar and other helpful information. You will also find a link to our Brooks School Parents Facebook page there, as well. Please join! We hope it will be active with questions, advice and information-sharing. 
 
Now and throughout the summer, feel free to contact me at any time. No question is too small; that’s what I’m here for. And if I don’t have the immediate answer, I will find the person who does. I look forward to meeting you in person soon and hope you have a wonderful summer!

If your child has test accommodations, or requires support in school, please make sure to refer to the appropriate documents in OnBrooks . Please do not hesitate to contact Director of the Learning Center Moira Goodman if you have any questions.
