Eastwood Elementary -

As we conduct safety drills across the district, we encourage parents to review the 'School Emergency Response' flyer with their children. It's important to familiarize students with key terms, review communication procedures, and ensure your contact information is up-to-date in Skyward Family Access. For more details, visit www.brps.org/communication.

Happy National Custodian Day Darwin and Bill! We would be a MESS without you both. Eastwood is so lucky to have two of the finest custodians who take such pride in their school. We appreciate their hard work and dedication. The students sure enjoy seeing Mr. Darwin and Mr. Bill in the halls as well.

We're experiencing an issue with our phone service provider, preventing calls from reaching some of our buildings this morning. We anticipate phone service will be restored by 11:00 a.m. In the meantime, if you need to contact any of our schools, please email the building offices. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.

October is National Principal Month! We are so appreciative of Mrs. Goodman and her dedication to Eastwood Elementary. Please join us in celebrating her this month!

We are thrilled to introduce our new district-wide safety signage at BRPS! These signs will enhance emergency response times, ensuring the safety of our students and staff. Each sign features a removable nameplate, providing a flexible and long-lasting solution for classroom or teacher changes. The signs will also help with wayfinding throughout our buildings for students, staff, or guests. This project was funded by a safety grant, which also supports the installation of exterior signs across all campuses to deter unauthorized personnel from approaching school buildings. These measures are part of our ongoing commitment to creating safe learning environments for everyone at BRPS. Check out these new safety signs at open houses next week!
