Families,
Thank you for choosing BROOKS!
We are honored to serve as the School Leaders for the  school year! We have experienced a tremendous amount of growth this school year and with it much change and new additions. BASE was awarded a Math and Science Distinction from TEA last month. We are so fortunate to have such dedicated teachers and staff. Together with our students, they made that happen.
Here at BASE we pride ourselves in being able to take your child from Kinder to College. We have limited seating available in all grade levels and are currently hosting tours. If you know anyone who is looking for a STEM accredited school and a rigorous curriculum, send them our way!
We appreciate your patience and feedback as we are always looking for ways to improve. We are so excited to unveil the new courtyard project in October, stay tuned for an official announcement and photos.
In service,
Mr. Delarosa
Upper School Leader
Mrs. Salas
Lower School Leader

Any adult who wishes to be on campus as a volunteer must have a background check on file and participate in a mini training session that she will host a few times a year. Background check forms can be found on our website or at the front desk  with one of our Receptionists. If you are interested in this or just staying current will all things parent involvement,  please her at
Accelerated Reader Begins!
Students in grades Kindergarten - 8th grade have received log in information for Accelerated Reader. Accelerated Reader is an online program that helps teachers monitor and manage children's independent reading practice. Your child will pick a book at his or her own reading level. Once complete they will then take a short quiz online. The more quizzes they successfully complete, the more points they earn. We will have an incentive board up showing our top point earners and give awards to classes with the most participation. Ask your child's teacher for login information if you have not already received it.

Additionally, we are at a point in the year where lunch balances need to be kept below $ Any lunch balance that exceeds such amount will result in loss of participation in sports, extracurricular activities, and field trips. Additionally, students who have an active balance exceeding $10.00 will be served an alternate lunch.
