During the Symposium on Friday, "Gaming Unplugged" Winter Term students showed off board games they created.

Schedule Update: Saturday, All Classes Are Virtual
As Associate Head for Student Affairs Andrea Heinze emailed earlier this afternoon, we are preparing for a potential nor’easter heading our way this weekend. As a result, we are changing our schedule and there will be no in-person classes on Saturday morning. All students will attend classes online and afternoon activities are canceled. Please review the email for full details about the schedule for Friday and Saturday.

Winter Term Report Cards
Winter Term Report Cards and Comments are available to parents/guardians in OnBrooks this afternoon. Please be in touch with Registrar Lisa Saunders with questions about OnBrooks or report card access support. 
Inside Winter Term Symposium
We missed welcoming families to campus for the annual Winter Term Symposium on Friday, but are happy to share a highlights video that gives you a sense of all the celebration our campus community enjoyed. Give it a watch, and peruse the photo albums for each class on brooksschoolphotos.com, to see some of what students have been working on these past few weeks.
Re-Enrollment Process
The re-enrollment process for returning students is starting soon in coordination with the Business Office and Powerschool. Emails will be sent from the Business Office as early as next week with the link to your student's re-enrollment account. Deposits will be due on or before March 1. Please note that your student's 2021-2022 Smart Tuition balance must be current (i.e., no balance in arrears/past due as of Jan. 31, 2022) in order for the enrollment contract to be released for 2022-2023. If you have questions, or need assistance with this process, please contact Student Accounts' Marie Ranfos and/or Director of Financial Operations, Controller Jo-Ann Bevis.
Coming Soon . . . Brooks Together & Giving Day
Join us on Feb. 2 at 7 p.m. (EST) for a family Zoom with Head of School John Packard! On the call he will provide an update on the school and we will share some exciting Brooks Together and Giving Day challenges for our community. We look forward to seeing you on the call and sharing a toast to Brooks: Click to view/download a few Brooks-inspired cocktail/mocktail recipes!
 
On Feb. 10, Brooks will celebrate our seventh-annual Giving Day! On this day, every member of the Brooks community, alumni, parents, grandparents, faculty and friends, is encouraged to support our school with a gift to the Brooks Fund. Our goal this year is to top 750 gifts. Giving Day also marks the first official day of our eight-week family fundraising drive Brooks Together. For more information, please contact Director of the Brooks Fund and Family Engagement Mary Merrill.
Treats for Your Sweets
Yet again, Brooks families have truly stepped up to support our Feb. 14, Treats for your Sweets celebration in honor of Valentine's Day! We are thrilled to offer a Crumbl Cookies buffet along with baskets filled with holiday-themed candy and treats. We have fulfilled the Amazon wishlist and raffle baskets, so now our priority is to fully underwrite the purchase of 400 of these amazing cookies — and we are more than halfway there! Here are a few different ways you can help make this event a success:
 
  • Venmo a donation in an amount of your choice to underwrite the cost of Crumbl cookies: a dozen cookies for $30 or four for $10. (Venmo your donation to @Jessica-Kelleher-3 and she will take care of the rest!)

 
If you have any questions, please contact Joan Ziady P'18, P'20, P'22, Jessie Kelleher P'24 or Director of the Brooks Fund and Family Engagement Mary Merrill. Thank you for your support of this event.
