Student Handbook
Welcome to the online version of the Bergenfield Public Schools' Elementary Handbook. Five elementary schools comprise the district’s pre-kindergarten through fifth-grade educational program. The elementary schools’ faculty and staff foster academic, social, and emotional growth for all children by engaging them in authentic learning opportunities that follow the district’s rigorous standards-aligned curriculum. We pride ourselves on being a diverse community that provides all children with a supportive and challenging environment. We are purposeful when it comes to differentiating learning opportunities to meet the needs of each child. This is only accomplished through positive collaboration among teachers, parents/guardians, and students. Please make a point to connect with your child’s teacher and develop a healthy working relationship to help guide your child toward success. Throughout this handbook, you will find information that will help you understand our pre-K-5 educational program for our children. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to your neighborhood school.
