Reminders on Drop-Off and Pick-Ups

School Hours: 7:40am – 2:40pm.  

Drop Off and Pick Up: We have three locations you can drop off and pick up, please review this map to help provide direction.  

  • Dropping off in front of the school is not allowed at any point throughout the day due to DPS safety policies.  This includes stopping and dropping off in the bus lane.  At all times during the school day, even for a late drop off (after 7:50AM), you will need to park in the Cherry Creek North neighborhood and walk your child to the front. 
  • No parking is allowed in the staff parking lots in front of the school or in the alley at any point during the day, even if briefly.
  • If you are more than 10 minutes late to pick up your child three or more times, an attendance meeting will be held to establish a plan and expectations. 

Have your kids outgrown their current Bromwell gear?  Bring it back to the school!  We will launder the shirts and sell them when school starts to raise money for a Family Relief Fund for the 24/25 school year.  Please drop items off at the front office.

Social Emotional Learning – SEL at Bromwell

– Going back to school means learning or relearning our school-week routines. Children thrive on well-rehearsed and consistent routines. Check out this tool from Big Life Journal to help your family get out the door in the morning, get organized in the afternoon, and prepare for a restful night’s sleep.

– This first week of school, Mr. Tay has been teaching about the Zones of Regulation during Morning Announcements. We use the 4 color coded zones to understand and communicate about our emotions and energy levels. Please ask your child(ren) about the Zones, and consider using this language at home too. Note, there are no bad Zones, but we thrive when we learn to regulate our Zones. Pro-parent tip: Print the first page of the Zones visual and post it on the refrigerator.
