Principal Raynard Nicholson
Welcome to Bernard Long Elementary
Dear Parents/Guardians and Students,
I hope this message finds you well and that you and your families have had a wonderful start to the school year. As the principal of Bernard Long Elementary, I am excited to share our vision for providing a purposeful and enriching education for all our students. Our goal is to create a nurturing environment where every child can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
The Importance of Attendance
Regular attendance is the foundation of a successful education. Each day of school provides unique opportunities for learning, growth, and social interaction. Consistent attendance helps students build upon their knowledge, stay engaged with their peers, and develop a routine that fosters discipline and responsibility. We ask for your support in ensuring that your child attends school every day, arrives on time, and is ready to learn.
Preparation for Learning
Being prepared for school each day is essential for academic success. This includes having the necessary supplies, completing homework, and being mentally and physically ready to engage in the day’s activities. Encourage your child to develop good study habits, get plenty of rest, and maintain a healthy diet. Your involvement in helping your child prepare for school sends a powerful message about the value of education.
Mutual Cooperation and Support
The education of our students is a collaborative effort that involves teachers, parents, and the students themselves. We believe that strong communication and partnership between home and school are critical to the success of our educational programs. We encourage you to stay informed about your child’s progress, participate in school events, and communicate with teachers regularly. Your involvement and support can make a significant difference in your child’s academic journey.
Our Commitment
At Bernard Long Elementary, we are committed to providing a high-quality education that meets the needs of all our students. Our dedicated teachers and staff work tirelessly to create a stimulating and supportive learning environment. We offer a diverse curriculum that encourages critical thinking, creativity, and a love for learning. Our extracurricular activities and support services are designed to enrich the educational experience and address the individual needs of each student.
Together, we can ensure that every child receives a purposeful and fulfilling education. We value your partnership and look forward to working together to support the academic and personal growth of our students. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
