Principal's Message

Welcome to Bournedale Elementary School! 

As an early childhood school, we welcome our families into the public school system and build the foundation of strong collaboration between home and school. As your child’s first teacher, your involvement in their education is essential! Parental involvement takes many forms from reading with your child each night, volunteering during the day or attending events hosted by our staff.  Each of these opportunities provides you with a lens of your child’s school day and the amazing opportunities Bournedale offers. 

Each year our students and staff choose a theme that creates a unified, positive message for all. This year’s theme is “Show Your True Colors at Bournedale”. In teaching our students to be a part of a community, and building strong social-emotional skills, they are even more ready to be active learners in the classroom. When students leave Bournedale, they will have acquired the skills listed in our BES Vision of a Graduate. Our differentiated approach to teaching and learning allows student’s individual needs to be met, whether they need additional support or challenges to be successful.

In order to stay informed about the most current information and events at Bournedale, we use multiple means of communication. Every Thursday, a Smore newsletter will be sent to your email address (please check SPAM or junk to be sure you are receiving it!). We also regularly update our Facebook Page: Bournedale Elementary and our BES Landing Page. To help get you started on some basic information for our school, our BES Family Fast Facts will provide you with contact information and procedures of our school day. 

Please do not hesitate to contact us at any time. We are looking forward to working with you and being partners in your child’s educational journey!
