Brookfield East values communication with and the involvement of parents. In addition to traditional communication methods from the school, parents benefit from MyElmbrook - Parent Edition, a “one-stop-shop” web portal for announcements, their student’s schedule, attendance, lunch and library account, homework assignments and classroom performance.
There are several opportunities for parent and community involvement, some which include:
- Brookfield East Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)
- Spartan Athletic Booster Club
- Friends of Fine Arts
- East 2010 and Beyond
- District-wide organizations like Elmbrook Education Foundation, Parent Network, Parent Leadership Council, Special Education Advisory Board, Gifted & Talented Advisory Board, and more!
