English Language Learners

Our EL Program at Brookside combines both in class and small group services. This way students receive additional support while still being able to experience all forms of communication in their classes.  Currently we offer services to students who hear and or speak either Jamaican Patois and Spanish. We strongly recommend and offer resources to our families in order that they maintain and embrace their first language as well.

Very Important Bears (VIB)

Elementary students strive to achieve “Very Important Bear” (VIB) Status each month. Students can become a “VIB” by consistently turning in all of their assignments, participating in class, and exhibiting leadership skills daily both in and out of the classroom. Our “VIB” students participate in a monthly celebration and year-long “VIB” students are able to attend a culminating celebration in May. Our goal is to increase the percentage of “VIB” students monthly!
