Dear Brookhaven Families,

Our Kids Heart Challenge was a success! THANK YOU for your incredible generosity and support in making our community heart healthy while helping others. Click the image above to hear a BIG Thank You from Heart Heroes across the US!

YOU made a difference! 138 students joined our team, 17 families completed Finn’s Mission, and we raised $6,546 for the American Heart Association to help people with special hearts! THANK YOU!

We know how important it is to take care of our hearts year-round, so for additional tips and resources, visit the Parent Corner to keep your family healthy. If you haven’t completed Finn’s Mission yet, you can still log in at http://www2.heart.org/goto/brookhaven or download the AHA Schools app to learn Hands-Only CPR, the warning signs of a stroke and more! Thank you again for your support!

Thank you families for participating in our ELAC meetings. If you missed any, here is the information for you. Any questions, please contact Mrs. Amidon kamidon@pylusd.org

We hope to see you next year!

Students demonstrate the trait of perseverance by continuing to perform their responsibilities and pursue their goals with vigor and tenacity despite frustrations, mistakes, setbacks, and other obstacles that make their tasks difficult or seem impossible. They resist temptations and pressures to give up or quit, choosing instead, to persist as long as they are able.

Key Beliefs:

I will be a better student if I act on the following beliefs:

• When something doesn’t work right, try again and again.
• I am able to resist temptations and pressures to give up or quit, choosing instead to persist as long as I can.
• I will always finish what I start.
• I can learn to face and accept what happens in my life.
• I need to grow from my experiences, including the ones that hurt.

Brookhaven Class of 2026 — Your Final Week Starts Now!

Tuesday: It's time for our class field trip to John's Incredible Pizza! Enjoy unlimited food, exciting arcade games, and a day packed with fun alongside your classmates.

Wednesday: The big day has arrived—Promotion Day! As you walk across the stage, each student will receive a special gift from the 6th Grade Committee to commemorate this important milestone. See the email Mrs. Fisher sent with all of the promotion day details.

Thursday: On your final day as Brookhaven Bears, the entire school will line the halls to cheer you on as you begin your next adventure. It's a proud sendoff for a remarkable class ready to accomplish bigger and better things!

At PYLUSD, we believe that respect and kindness create the best environment for learning and collaboration. Our goal is to ensure all interactions among parents, staff, students, and visitors are positive, professional, and focused on supporting students.

Our Shared Commitment

• Treat one another with respect and courtesy.

• Maintain a safe, welcoming environment for everyone.

• Communicate calmly, constructively, and respectfully.

• Work together toward positive solutions.

What We Expect

• Avoid shouting, profanity, or threats.

• Do not disrupt school activities or meetings.

• If emotions run high, we may pause the conversation and reschedule.

When Behavior Becomes Disruptive

Unsafe, threatening, or abusive behavior may result in being asked to leave campus. Continued issues could limit access to school grounds, and law enforcement may be contacted if necessary.

Our Promise

Brookhaven staff are committed to:

• Listening with empathy and professionalism.

• Modeling civility for our students and community.

• Working with you to resolve concerns respectfully.

Thank you for helping us create a safe, positive, and respectful school environment for everyone!
