Dear Brentwood Families,
As we enter the final weeks of the school year, I would like to share important information regarding upcoming school closures, early dismissal days, and end-of-year events. Please review the following schedule carefully:
- School will be closed on Monday, May 26, in observance of Memorial Day, and on Tuesday, May 27, as we did not use any emergency closing days this year.
- School will also be closed on Thursday, June 19, in observance of the Juneteenth holiday.
- Elementary students will have half days on Wednesday, June 25, and Thursday, June 26.
- The last full day for Early Intervention will be Wednesday, June 25.
- The last full day for middle school students will be Monday, June 16.
- Regents and final exam schedules for the Middle Schools, Freshman Campus, and High School will be distributed directly by each building principal.
- Early dismissal times and transportation details for these dates will be shared shortly.
We are also excited to celebrate our graduating seniors! The High School Graduation Ceremony will take place on Saturday, June 28. Additional details will be sent home by the high school administrative team.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s principal.
Thank you for your continued support and involvement. We look forward to celebrating the many exciting events planned for May and June!
Sincerely,
Wanda Ortiz-Rivera
Superintendent of Schools
