Dear Bob Edwards Families,

Welcome to the start of a new school year at Bob Edwards School! Whether you are returning or joining us for the first time, we are thrilled to have you in our school community. As we step into this exciting new chapter, we are filled with anticipation for the learning, growth, and achievements ahead.

At Bob Edwards School, we take great pride in our commitment to fostering an environment where every student can thrive. Our motto—Courage, Growth, and Respect—serves as the foundation of everything we do, guiding our interactions, our learning, and our community spirit.

Courage is at the heart of our school culture. We encourage our students to take risks, to step out of their comfort zones, and to embrace new challenges with confidence. Whether it’s tackling a difficult subject, trying out for a team, or standing up for what’s right, we believe that courage is a key ingredient in personal and academic success.

Growth is something we strive for in every aspect of our school experience. We are dedicated to providing our students with the opportunities and support they need to grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Our teachers and staff are committed to creating a nurturing and stimulating environment where students can explore their interests, develop new skills, and reach their full potential.

Respect is the cornerstone of our community. We teach our students the importance of treating others with kindness and consideration, valuing diversity, and fostering positive relationships. By practicing respect in our classrooms, hallways, and beyond, we create a welcoming and inclusive environment where every individual feels valued and supported.

As we embark on this new school year, we are excited to continue building on these core values. Our dedicated staff has been working tirelessly to prepare engaging and enriching learning experiences for all students. We are committed to providing a safe and supportive environment where every student feels empowered to succeed.

In the coming weeks, families will have numerous opportunities to get involved, whether through school events, volunteer opportunities, or simply staying connected with their child’s learning. We believe that strong partnerships between school and home are essential to student success, and we look forward to working closely with you throughout the year.

Finally, we want to extend our gratitude to all of our families for your ongoing support and trust in Bob Edwards School. Together, we can make this school year a memorable and impactful one, filled with moments of courage, opportunities for growth, and acts of respect.

Let’s make this year our best one yet!
