IT'S HOMECOMING TIME -
BHS Homecoming is a few weeks away, and it's time to build those floats and get our candy bags ready because the BHS Homecoming Parade IS BACK!!! Let's see if we can outdo last year's 70+ entries and make our parade the best ever. This year's theme is "The Brookings Tea Party...Let's Spill the Tea."
On Friday, October 4, classes will dismiss at 1:00 to head downtown for our 2:00 parade. The parade route starts at 6th St & 5th Avenue, goes south down 5th Avenue to Front Street, heads west down Front Street to Main Avenue, then goes north down Main Ave where it ends at 6th Street. Coaches, Advisors, Managers, Directors, Bosses, or Anyone leading a community group, get your entry ready and register. Go to the BSD Homepage and register. Entries are due on Friday, September 27.
- GO BOBCATS -
Please be aware that if you use the north and south parking lots it is posted as a right turn only to aid in keeping traffic flowing. Our supervisors and students appreciate you being aware of entrances and exits as well!
The beginning is almost here!!! Go Bobcats!!!

Boys and Girls Club Families,
The Brookings School District is thrilled to announce the launch of our Early Learning program next fall. As a participant in the Boys and Girls Club program, you can enroll your child in our preschool offerings through the Brookings Childcare Collaborative. Like your current experience, we will provide Pre-K and Extended Enrichment services from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm. Pre-K programming, offered as half-day services onsite at the Brookings School District, will be $325 per month. For those who wish to extend their child's time in the program, the Boys and Girls Club will offer Extended Enrichment programming at the three elementary schools for an additional fee of $350.
Please use the provided link to enroll for Fall 2024 Pre-K sessions. Upon submission, a $100 deposit can be remitted at the Brookings School District Administration Office at 2130 8th St. S. All current Club students will have priority placement through April 8. After that date, the remaining seats will be filled in order of completed registrations, and Club students will not be guaranteed a placement.
Program-specific information will be shared over the next few weeks; however, we wanted to ensure registration information was available for families wishing to secure a placement next fall. If you plan to register for Extended Enrichment, that link is provided below.
We are excited about the programs being developed and look forward to our partnership with you and your family!

Good afternoon all,
During FACS class, we had a spill in an oven with cheese. The cheese ended up getting burnt and producing a significant smell that spread upstairs. We understand why everyone would be concerned about a smell in the middle school, so we wanted to get the word out to people. Thanks!
