Interested in Having Your Child Take Brooks Classes This Summer?
The Academic Office is exploring the possibility of offering some online learning opportunities this summer, to be taught by Brooks School teachers.

Please click to complete a survey and share your thoughts . Thank you!
Grades and Report Cards
Semester 2 report cards for all students will be available in OnBrooks on June 12 after 12 p.m. Students who are graduating or departing (and their parents) will have access to all report cards in OnBrooks through June 19. Please plan accordingly. The college counseling office will be sending transcripts for graduating seniors after June 22. Have questions or need assistance? Contact Registrar Lisa Saunders .
A Message From the Business Office
Reminder: May/June charges (including exam fees, lesson fees, etc.) will not be billed through Smart Tuition until June/July. Please be aware that these amounts are due, and payable through Smart Tuition, when you are billed.
Sixth-Form Parents: Important Medical Form Information
Colleges and other programs often require a copy of your child’s physical examination and immunization records. The Health and Wellness Center recommends that you log in to Magnus now to print a copy of any documents you may need. After June 19, the health records for current sixth-formers will be archived and you will need to call Magnus Health for access.
Magnus Summer Forms Deadline
Summer forms for new and returning students have been launched. Please log into Magnus through OnBrooks to complete by the deadline of June 1.
What Does Distance Learning Look Like?
Academic Dean Mrs. Waters takes you inside distance learning at Brooks in her latest Deans' Den Blog . Check it out to learn more about virtual Spanish class, as well as a recent meet-up of Brooks' Davis Foundation scholars!
Brooks Together
As we just passed the midway point of our Brooks Together drive , we are so grateful to all of our families who have made a contribution to the school. Thank you for your support and your consideration!
 
Every year we celebrate the support of our families by recognizing participation at all levels. In the fall, the parents of the class of 2020 set the bar by reaching nearly 80 percent participation in the Brooks Fund for their Sixth Form Parent Class Gift. Is there another class who could match this level of amazing support? 
 
We appreciate that this is a unique year with unforeseen circumstances for all. If you are able to support Brooks Together , you will both boost your class participation and provide vital funds to support our teachers and students. For more information and to make your gift, click here . Thank you for your consideration. 
Textbook Buyback Details
If students would like to sell their textbooks, Follett, our online textbook provider, suggests using their partner, Valore Books . Shipping is free. Obviously, no in-person Follett buyback this year. If students rented books from Follett, there is no need to return them. There will be no additional fees -- students now own them. Follett looks forward to renting to students again in 2020-2021. If you have questions, contact customer service at Follett ( csvirtual@efollett.com , 800-621-4088) or Associate Head for Academic Affairs Lance Latham (978) 725-6252.
Celebrating the Soon-To-Be Graduates
With just four days until the class of 2020's graduation — May 25 at 7:30 p.m. and viewable here — we wanted to make sure everyone has an opportunity to watch the moving tribute video of the school's new wall of names, honoring the class, which was shared on social media. Each member of the class is also being recognized on Brooks' Instagram in our "Senior Spotlights" series. If you don't use Instagram, fear not: Every student's spotlight can be viewed by clicking on their name in the class list on brooksschool.org's Commencement 2020 web page . Get your tissues ready!
