How Can We Help You? 

Parents- As a mother of two elementary children who have been learning remotely for longer than I’d like to acknowledge, I recognize firsthand the challenges that this can create for families. Keeping your students motivated and engaged is no easy task while trying to balance the demands of your own jobs and household responsibilities. I would like to extend myself to you to assist in any way possible or even just be a listening ear. Mrs. Bontempo and I can meet with you if you feel like your child is struggling and we can brainstorm strategies to assist your child during this period of remote learning. Please keep this in mind as we enter into this next phase of remote learning. 

Happy Holidays to you all- it is a pleasure to serve your families!

Mrs. Eimiller
BWE Principal
