The Bobcat Times

Dear Brooker Creek Families,

It was wonderful to see so many of our parents and families on campus this week for our Open House and Family Lunch events. We appreciate your continued involvement and partnership in supporting our students and school community.

We encourage parents of students in grades 1–5 to regularly monitor their child’s academic progress throughout the school year using the FOCUS Gradebook. Staying informed about grades, assignments, and academic progress is an important part of our home-school partnership.

Thank you as well for your continued efforts to ensure your child arrives at school each day, on time, and prepared to learn. Consistent attendance and punctuality help students maximize instructional time and start each day ready for success.

Thank you for your continued support of Brooker Creek Elementary and for helping us ensure that Every Bobcat Counts!

Dear Bobcat Families,

As we begin our first assessment cycle of the 2026–2027 school year, we want to make sure our families have important information regarding the PM1 Assessment Cycle.

The PM1 Assessment Window at Brooker Creek Elementary School will be September 1–25, 2026.

Please refer to the VPK, K–2, or 3–5 assessment letters below for important information specific to your child’s grade level. These letters provide an overview of the assessments students will complete during the PM1 assessment cycle.

Your student’s teacher will provide you with the specific date(s) of your child’s assessment(s), along with any additional information you may need.

Assessment data is an important part of our instructional process. It allows us to celebrate student growth, identify areas of need, and make informed decisions to ensure that every Bobcat receives the support and instruction needed to be successful.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Together, we are helping every Bobcat grow, learn, and reach their full potential!

Where Every Bobcat Counts! 🐾Should you have any questions regarding the PM1 Assessment Cycle, please do not hesitate to contact Mrs. Gerber.

Go Bobcats!
