Berlin Elementary Vision
It is the vision of Berlin Elementary School to empower each student to grow academically, socially, and emotionally based on their individual needs. Students will be provided with meaningful, relevant, and connected learning to reach success. We will foster a learning environment that collaborates with families and the community to achieve this vision.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Open House. It is wonderful to have so many families who are invested in their child's education and our partnership will positively impact your child's experiences at school.

National Heroes' Day has been celebrated in the United States since 2020. People from diverse cultures have heroes in politics, arts, activism, the military, and beyond. Moreover, we have heroes at home, such as supportive friends, kind grandmothers, and caring teachers, who are also heroes. We encounter numerous heroes daily.
The Berlin Elementary Shooting Stars Classroom would like to celebrate our hometown heroes by inviting them to visit the classroom and talk about the ways in which they positively impact their community.
