It is my honor and a pleasure to welcome you to the 2024 – 2025 school year! I hope you all have had a relaxing and fun summer break. I am extremely proud to serve as the Principal of this amazing learning community and to continue to support the learners of HBMS! As has been our mission at HBMS, we will continue to strive for academic excellence and social and emotional well-being for our students while looking through a lens of equity and inclusion.

I would like to welcome all of our new families, whether you are joining us from another school in the district or have relocated from another city, state, or country. We are excited to share with you all that HBMS has to offer and believe you will soon feel as we do, that HBMS is a special place for all children. Our educators, support staff, families, and other education partners are ready to welcome you into the Beardsley Team.

As I have always said, HBMS’ outstanding educators create the foundation for your child’s academic success. In addition, a large part of the HBMS Learning Community’s success can be attributed to its active and engaged parents who are involved in the PTO, Education Foundation, and various committees. Please consider contributing to the HBMS PTO so that we can continue to fund engaging enrichment programs, assemblies, and much-needed supplemental equipment and supplies that will support teaching and learning this year.

I look forward to the start of the new school year and to continuing our collaboration of providing your children with an effective and engaging educational experience. As always, we will look to our families to be positive partners in their children’s educational journey. The HBMS staff has always made a priority of working together as a caring and compassionate learning community with professionalism, teamwork, action, and expertise. We will always put the best interests of our students at the center of our purpose. Join us in ensuring the success of all HBMS students. Stay healthy, stay positive, and stay connected.

As always, my door is open and our team welcomes your input. Please feel free to contact me via email at the address below or call to make an appointment to speak with me to discuss any ideas you feel will make this the best year yet!
