How to Stay in the Know!
At BKG, our families matter most.
At The Brooklyn Green School, we believe that schools thrive when families and teachers work together, as genuine partners, to maximize student learning inside and outside of school. In order to achieve this shared goal, we are all about forging strong relationships within our school community. The first step in relationship building is to make sure that we keep our lines of communication open!
Currently, we use the following methods to help our families stay connected and "in the know:"

- Remind - We work hard to consistently engage with families, and Remind is one way we message families! Messages are delivered right to your cell phone as a text message. Email bmckinney3@schools.nyc.gov to receive the class code for your scholar.
