Message From the Principal
I would like to take this opportunity to extend a cheerful greeting to you. We are very proud of our distinction as a "National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence." This most prestigious education award validates our commitment to excellence in leadership, teaching, curriculum, student achievement, parent involvement & community support. Additionally, we are pleased that we have been designated as a Maryland Green School for our work on maintaining a healthier environment. Our school theme for this year is "T-E-A-M... Together Everyone Acheives More!" As the Benfield Principal, I am looking forward to meeting you and eagerly anticipate many shared successes as we show our "Bulldog Pride" this year. The staff and I will promote a well-rounded academic program of study in a positive, nurturing environment where the home-school relationship plays an integral part in our succcess.
During this school year, the School Improvement Plan will guide our educational efforts. Developed by Benfield's School Improvement Team, this plan states the goals we will strive to meet during the course of the school year. These goals focus on improving student performance in the areas of Reading, Writing/Language Usage, Math, Science and Social Studies. Our goals support Anne Arundel County's goals for academic achievement, safe and orderly environment and community collaboration. We will work together to insure that all of our students meet success.
My best wishes to all students and families as we begin the new school year
