School Culture and Expectations

Code of Conduct Brooklyn Elementary reviews its Code of Conduct each year to ensure it aligns with the school’s values. The school directs families to the updated Brooklyn Code of Conduct for the 2025/2026 school year.

Transportation, Parking, and Getting Here

Brooklyn Elementary emphasizes safe and active travel to and from school, developed through a community process involving the school, PAC, SD71, RCMP, the Town of Comox, and other partners. The school reports it does not have a school bus because most homes are within walking/biking distance, and it has increased the number of bike racks for secure bike parking. A public bus services the nearby high school and the neighbourhood community.
