Important Information

Welcome to Brookhaven!
Here is some important information about our school
 
Hot Lunch
 
Hot lunches will be free again this year! Students will be asked in class if they will be purchasing a hot lunch. Make sure your child knows to raise their hand to be included in the lunch count for the day.
 
Arrival/Dismissal Times
 
Students can arrive on campus at 7:20am for breakfast. At 7:35am all students can be on campus and line up with their class. The warning bell rings at 7:45am and students should be in their classroom. Gates will close at 7:45am and all students will need to go through the office. The Tardy bell rings at 7:50am. Students arriving at this time or later will be marked tardy. Regular dismissal is at 2:15pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.  Early Release is every Wednesday at 1:15pm.  All students must be picked up at dismissal through valet if by car, or they can meet parents out in front of Kindergarten classrooms to walk home.  Parents should not be late picking students up as there is not supervision after 2:25pm. Students enrolled in Child Care should report immediately after the dismissal bell for Child Care attendance.
 
Parent Portal
 
Parents must update their child's parent portal at the start of every school year. Please visit portal.pylusd.org and log-in to your child's portal. You can do this anytime and keep us well informed. In the event of an emergency, we use the information you provide to contact you or other people you list on your child's emergency contact list.  We do requrie a utility bill or other form of address verification to change your home address.  Please provide this to the office if you move during the school year or over the summer.
 
Attendance
If your child is absent or going to be late you must leave a message on the attendance line. Call 714-986-7110, extension #3.  Students will be marked truant if the absence is not cleared within 48 hours.
 
Lost and Found
 
Please remember to label everything your child brings to school. It will be easier to return lost items to students. All lost items will be placed in the Lost and Found box which is located outside the Multi Purpose room.  Please check this box if your student is missing jackets, lunch boxes, etc. Lost and Found items are donated at the end of each trimester.
