The chance of fires increase as the days get colder. To keep themselves warm, parents use fireplaces, space heaters, or even make oven-cooked meals to warm the home. Even if you make sure you practice good safety measures, you can’t know for sure that your neighbors do. That’s why you need to make sure your smoke alarms are in good working order.

Ask Yourself These 4 Questions

Brookwood

  • Are your smoke alarms in the right locations?
  • Do they have functioning batteries?
  • Does the smoke sensor work?
  • How old are the smoke alarms?

Important Smoke Alarm Locations

Brookwood

  • In each bedroom
  • In the area adjacent to the bedrooms
  • On every floor of the home, including the basement and attic

Check your area’s fire codes. Often when multiple smoke alarms are required, all units must be wired together.

Are The Batteries Still Good?

Brookwood

  • Often, your smoke alarm will emit an annoying beep when batteries need to be replaced.
  • It’s a good idea to develop a habit to replace the batteries twice a year.
  • Many people do it when it’s time to change the clocks.
  • Otherwise, you can use lithium batteries.
  • Those last for 10-15 years.

Does The Smoke Sensor Work?

Brookwood

It’s not enough to just press the test button to check your battery. That only confirms that the battery, electronics, and alert system are operating.

  • Here’s a good way to test the smoke sensor.
  • Hold a candle by the sensor.
  • Light it and quickly extinguish it.
  • The smoke should set off the sensor.
  • If you don’t feel comfortable with candles, you can use an aerosol can of smoke alarm test spray.
  • This can also simulate smoke.

Life Expectancy Of A Smoke Alarm

Brookwood

  • Generally, smoke alarms are good for 10 years.
  • After this time, it’s not unusual for sensors to quit responding.

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
