Principal's Welcome

Dear Elbridge Elementary School Families,

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year at Elbridge Elementary School! It is with great excitement that we open our doors to our wonderful students, dedicated staff, and supportive community for another year of growth, learning, and achievement.

At Elbridge Elementary, our mission is to ensure high levels of learning for all students. We are committed to providing a rigorous and engaging curriculum that challenges each student to reach their full potential. Our focus is not only on academic excellence but also on educating the whole child. We believe that nurturing a child's social, emotional, and physical well-being is essential for their overall success and happiness.

One of the key initiatives we are proud to continue this year is our building-wide behavior recognition system, SOAR (Safety First, Offer Respect, Acts of Kindness, Responsibility). SOAR encourages positive behavior and recognizes students for their efforts in maintaining a safe and respectful learning environment. By promoting these values, we aim to create a school culture where every student feels valued and empowered to succeed.

We also understand the importance of positive partnerships with families and the community. Your involvement and support are crucial to the success of our students. We invite you to participate in school events, join our Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO), and engage in open communication with our teachers and staff. Together, we can create a strong and supportive network that fosters the growth and development of our children.

As we embark on this new school year, I want to express my gratitude for your continued trust and partnership. We are confident that, together, we can make this year a memorable and successful one for all our students.

Thank you for being a part of the Elbridge Elementary School community. Let’s make this year the best one yet!

Love,
Mrs. Bastian
