Dr. Sharon Hampton

As Principal here at Brookdale Elementary School, I would like to welcome you and your family to the soaring Eagles school year. We are committed to doing all we can to make this school year a successful experience for every student. We firmly believe that a home/school partnership is necessary for the success of all of our students. Learning is not an easy process! It involves sharing ideas, making mistakes, and attempting new experiences. Learning involves hard work by everyone, the teacher, the parent, the principal, but most importantly the student.

At Brookdale, we value and challenge each student and provide opportunities for success. Instruction is based on the SC State Standards.

Research and experience shows us that a parent's/guardian's involvement in a child's education is directly related to his/her success in school. To maximize your child's success, emphasize the importance of education through the following:

Ensure that your child is at school on time each day.
Attend parent/teacher conferences and school events.
Monitor your child's homework daily.
Expect and support positive behavior at school.
Read with your child or encourage your child to read daily.
In addition, I look forward to partnering with you to make this an exciting and successful year for our students. Thank you in advance for your support and commitment. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (803) 534-5982.

Educationally,

Dr. Sharon F. Hampton

Principal
