Welcome to Brookwood Elementary—A Place Where Every Student Grows to Glow

At Brookwood Elementary, we believe that children are not only our future—they are our right now. Each day, we are honored to nurture their growth, guide their curiosity, and walk alongside them as they discover their purpose and potential. We strive to meet every student and family exactly where they are, offering support tailored to each child’s learning style while encouraging the development of their unique gifts and talents.

We believe all children have the right to dream boldly. It is our shared responsibility—together with families and community partners—to help bring those dreams to life in ways that are meaningful and achievable.

Brookwood is a warm, welcoming environment where every child is seen, heard, and valued. We are committed to creating a safe and supportive space that fosters student voice and cultivates a true sense of belonging. When students feel secure and connected, they flourish—and that is the foundation of everything we do.

I am deeply proud of the exceptional team I have the privilege of serving with. Our dedicated teachers, support staff, food service workers, custodians, office professionals, and itinerant team members—including our school social worker, psychologist, speech pathologist, and occupational therapist—are committed to the success of every child. Their dedication and care are the threads that hold together the vibrant fabric of our school.

An essential part of our Brookwood family includes our four classrooms serving students with autism. Our primary goal for these students is to foster communication, socialization, and independence through inclusive opportunities with their general education peers. This inclusive approach enriches our entire school community and reflects our belief that every child deserves to shine.

As I begin my 17th year as Principal of Brookwood Elementary, I can confidently say there is no place I would rather be. Brookwood is more than a school—it is a nurturing community where children grow, families are embraced, and dreams are made possible.

Should you have any questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our wonderful office staff. Ms. Beth and Ms. Zahra are more than happy to support you and can be reached at (616) 455-0030.

Welcome to Brookwood Elementary—where every student grows, and every student glows.
