Dear Banyan Community,

We have had a great start to the 2024-2025 school year and are looking forward to finishing the year strong. Our commitment to offering our students and their families a rich and fulfilling educational experience remains our top priority.

A significant focus this year is our dedication to equipping every student with the skills they need for success. Our tireless teachers work diligently to meet students where they are, providing tailored support through both remedial and enrichment opportunities. Our WIN Time (What I Need) is in full swing, allowing teachers to work with students in small groups and foster an environment that enhances learning and personal growth.

In addition to our academic initiatives, we are striving to earn the prestigious Gold PBIS Award. Our positive school environment is built upon three core behavior expectations: We are safe, we are responsible, and we are kind. To reinforce these values, we have implemented a comprehensive framework of behavioral supports across Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3. Our dedicated staff is committed to meeting each student’s needs, providing support academically, behaviorally, and emotionally.

As we look to the future, we are eager to build on our progress. We remain deeply grateful to the Banyan community for your continuous support and active engagement in your children’s education. Together, we are creating a nurturing environment where every student can thrive.

We are excited to continue this journey together and are confident that the second half of the year will bring further success for all our students.

Warm regards,

Dolly Bentley, Principal
Banyan Elementary School
