Schools

Updated: Brookfield Schools Open Wednesday

Superintendent Anthony Bivona announced Tuesday afternoon that the 2011-12 academic year will begin on Wednesday.

All Brookfield schools will be in session on Wednesday, August 31, 2011. Power has been restored to all school buildings, most roads have been cleared and we can safely transport our students to and from school.

Wednesday will be a full instructional day and kindergarten orientation will take place as previously announced.

However, it will be necessary to adjust the routes of several buses and temporarily move bus stops.
