New Year’s is all about new beginnings. Winter break is an excellent time to access how your children are doing in their studies. How can you help your children make successful New Year’s resolutions? Hint: It starts and ends with you.

Focus On The Fun

Brookwood

  • Once your children are in school, their move toward independence accelerates.
  • This is the time you can guide your children to develop healthy and happy habits.
  • Setting goals should be a fun experience!

Walk The Walk

Brookwood

  • Kids will be looking at their parents to see if they are accomplishing their resolutions.
  • One great way of demonstrating [follow-through] is to create family resolutions.
  • Some ideas include visiting relatives more or setting up a weekly game night.
  • Ultimately, parents have to “Walk the Walk and Talk the Talk”.
  • You are the ultimate resolution role model!

Suggest Resolutions, Never Dictate

Brookwood

Part of the idea around setting resolutions is embracing your child’s growing independence. This is the time that your kid is beginning to gain a greater awareness of themselves and those around them.

  • Work with your child to set short and long-term resolutions.
  • Make realistic goals. You want your child to experience success.
  • Writing down resolutions should be done in a warm and happy environment.
  • Never dictate resolutions. Your child should lead the conversation. Guide your child gently.

Make It A Family Tradition

Brookwood

  • Resolution writing should be considered a bonding experience.
  • Develop traditions for this time, such as sharing a glass of apple cider or hot chocolate, to be enjoyed while writing.
  • Whether you’re an adult or child, it’s easy to forget these resolutions.
  • Check with your kids on a periodic basis to see how they’re doing.
  • Hold your discussion while enjoying a special treat.
  • Resolutions should be considered something positive.
  • Tweaking their goals (reasonably) is okay.

Parent Update - Return To In-Person Learning Begins February 23, 2021

Dear Parents/Guardians/Families:

The purpose of this message is to share with you the learning options that Brookwood School District 167 is offering for the remainder of the year. Beginning February 23, 2021 parents will have the option to send their child(ren) back to school for in-person learning for full-time instruction. However, parents may choose to continue the remote learning model for the remainder of the school year.

Option #1: In-Person Learning: This option provides students with full-time learning at their school. In order to provide in-person learning, Brookwood School District 167 is committed to implementing all required safety and cleaning protocols outlined by IDPH/CDC. If schools should be required to shift back to Remote Learning (due to current health metrics/increased positivity rates), students can expect to return to the remote structure they have been receiving since the start of the school year. In the event this learning option is not meeting your child’s needs, you may revert back to the Remote Learning Model by notifying your child’s Principal.

Option #2: Remote Learning: With this option, parents are choosing to have learning delivered 100% on-line/remotely. Students who are enrolled in this option should expect to engage with their teachers during normal school hours on a daily basis and receive live (synchronous) instruction for 2.5 hours per day. This matches the current format. All students who are enrolled in Option #2 will experience all subject areas and the current online tools and resources will remain in place. By selecting this option, you will not be able to change your selection and your child will remain in remote learning for the remainder of the school year.

*Please Note: For both options, devices will be provided to all Brookwood School District 167 students. Also with both options, students can rely on Brookwood School District 167 for food service, social-emotional wellness, and special education services. Furthermore, both options emphasize safety, educational quality, and parental choice. Please take time to complete the enrollment form so we understand the option that best meets your child needs. We will register your child, for the remainder of the school year, in the specified learning option you select.

Sincerely,

Bethany A. Lindsay, Superintendent

Brookwood
