News & Announcements

4/5/21 - This week, we are excited to welcome back students for in-person hybrid learning, while continuing to support our fulltime distance learners. Please check your email for messages from ParentSquare regarding your student’s schedule. Enclosed are important dates, reminders, and action items. Please click above to review. We can't wait to see you!

This Safety Plan is designed to document the preventative steps being taken to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in the Sebastopol Union School District and Brook Haven Middle School. This plan is available for public review during regular business hours. Click to view the enclosed plan and associated documents.

April 1, 2021 - As we bring students back to in-person classes in our hybrid model, we have updated our meal service. Our last delivery to sites will be on Thursday, April 1st. We will instead be providing "Grab-n-Go" bag meals on campus, during morning recess, at departure, and also in a drive thru for students to access on their home/distance learning days.

4/13/21 - We know that these past few months we've asked you to complete numerous surveys. Your input and feedback are important to us. Today, we are writing to ask for ~15 minutes of your time to complete an online survey that will help us improve our schools. We have asked YouthTruth – a nonprofit organization that supports hundreds of schools and districts across the county – to conduct an anonymous survey on our behalf.

Sebastopol Educational Foundation (SEF) has partnered with Farm Fresh to You (organic foods delivered right to your door!) to help fund SUSD schools. Along with fruits and veggies, you can add on other groceries and farm products (milk, cheese, flowers, etc.). 10% of the total spent on every order is donated back to the school. The more people that sign up, the quicker the funding to classrooms will grow!

As the COVID-19 situation continues to improve in Sonoma County, we need your input for the spring trimester. We are finalizing our safety plans and anticipating a return to campus in a Hybrid model, sometime after Spring Break. We will keep you posted once our plans have been approved by the county and state health departments. In the meantime, we need to know your preference for your student(s). Please take just a few moments to complete the survey.

Safe Routes to School (SRTS) is hosting a February Walk & Roll for Our HeARTS art contest. Draw what you LOVE about Walking & Rolling. Any student who turns in art to SRTS will be entered into a drawing for a $50.00 gift card to the Art Supply Store, and, in addition, 12 (or more) will be chosen for the 2021-22 Walk & Roll for Our HeARTS Wall calendar!

Brook Haven Middle School invites parents and guardians of incoming 5th Grade students to meet the teachers, and learn more about the school, curriculum, and extracurricular offerings. Park Side 4th graders will participate in a spring orientation with their classes.

The Sebastopol Educational Foundation (SEF) meets monthly and is looking for new parent/community participants! This group is invaluable to Park Side and Brook Haven classrooms. If you are interested in joining, volunteering, or simply bringing fresh new ideas to the table, please plan to attend any and all of their meetings. Click above to visit SEF's site.
