Dear Burnham Elementary School Families,
Welcome back to a new and exciting school year! I hope you all had a wonderful summer and are as eager as we are to begin this journey together. It's always a joy to see our students return, and we're especially thrilled to welcome our new kindergarteners to the Burnham Elementary School family.
Over the summer, we've been hard at work making some important improvements to our school. I'm pleased to share that we completed a full roof replacement, ensuring a safer and more comfortable environment for everyone. Additionally, we've added a Learning Unlimited (LU) system to our gymnasium, which will provide our students with even more opportunities for growth and development.
Our commitment to education and dedication to our students and their families is at the heart of everything we do. We are passionate about enhancing student achievement, and we can’t wait to continue "Building Extraordinary Students" together.
Throughout the spring and summer, our Principal, Mrs. Pozdzal, has guided our teachers and instructional aides in implementing new reading programs for our students.
Last week, our dedicated faculty and staff engaged in two Teacher Institute days to receive training on our new reading and English language curriculum. We are excited to roll out the Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH) Into Reading Curriculum for our K-5 students. This program is deeply rooted in research on key literacy elements and offers tailored support for multilingual learners, including a Spanish-English biliteracy solution. For our 6th-8th graders, we are introducing the Amplify ELA curriculum, which is designed to empower students to tackle complex texts, explore diverse ideas, and find personal relevance in their learning journey.
We are excited to welcome our students and are all looking forward to another fantastic school year. Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you soon!
Warm regards,
Stephen Geraci
Superintendent
Burnham Elementary School

This temporary closure is necessary to ensure the safety of our students, staff, and visitors while these improvements are made. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
We look forward to welcoming everyone back to a safer and enhanced school environment in August.
