Berkeley Heights Elementary Welcome Toolkit

Welcome to Our School

Dear Parents and Students,
The 2019 - 2020 school year is going to be fantastic! This year will be filled with excitement and learning for all students. The staff at Berkeley Heights Elementary works hard to prepare engaging and content specific lessons to ensure academic excellence daily in all subject areas. We are all very excited to welcome you into our positive environment!

Academic achievement and student success is a priority at Berkeley Heights Elementary. Students are supported and encouraged to meet a high standard of academic excellence as they learn valuable skills. Our students will participate in a variety of learning opportunities in and outside of the classroom to enhance the curriculum provided by the WV Department of Education.

The staff at Berkeley Heights Elementary wants to help each child shine. In order to do so, we want to partner with parents throughout the school year to accomplish this important task. You can participate in your child’s education by overseeing homework, discussing graded class assignments and report cards with your child, and by attending school events and activities.

At the end of every month the Pioneer Post newsletter will be sent home to parents to communicate important information and dates. All students will also have a folder to take home classwork for parents to see and for parents to send notes in to the teacher. Communication between home and school is essential for student success!

Thank you in advance for your help in making the 2019-2020` school year a success for your child and for our school. We are partners and we want to take your child to great new heights!

Sincerely,
Chad Pence

Interim Principal
