Dear BPS Community:

I hope that everyone enjoyed the Spring Break! We look forward to welcoming everyone back tomorrow morning!
This Wednesday, we will celebrate Administrative Professionals Day and recognize the exceptional work they do every day in support of our schools and district.  Whether welcoming families, coordinating complex schedules, managing critical communications, or supporting staff and students, their contributions are essential and deeply valued. 




This week, we also celebrate After-school Professionals Week and thank all of the BPS Staff and Community Partnerships that provide our students with a safe, supportive, and enriching environment beyond the school day.  After-school programs are an essential part of our school community and make a lasting impact.  These programs provide enrichment opportunities, foster a sense of belonging, and offer families reassurance that their children are in capable, compassionate hands.




​In partnership,
Iris White
Superintendent of Schools

Congratulations to Danielle Federowicz:
Danielle Federowicz, an eighth-grade social studies and AVID elective teacher at Chippens Hill Middle School, has been selected as a delegate to the We the Teachers: Preparing the Next Generation Through History and Civics national fellowship program at William and Mary.  She was accepted to a summer fellowship at William and Mary University as part of a "Congress of Teachers" surrounding the study of America 250. Only two teachers were chosen from each of the 50 states to create this "Congress," and she was selected as one of them.  Her selection to this national fellowship not only highlights her excellence as an educator but also reflects the outstanding educators throughout our district. We look forward to the knowledge and inspiration she will bring back to benefit our students and her colleagues.

Diversity Club at Bristol Eastern High School:
Bristol Eastern High School held its annual Diversity Club Culture Day on Friday, April 10th. The day began with a parade around the school. I enjoyed listening to students as they proudly shared stories of their heritage. Bristol’s diversity is one of its greatest strengths, enriching our schools and preparing our students to thrive in a global society.  Please see the photo below of me with Mr. Orlando Valle and the student organizers.
