A parent recently shared a story with one of our staff members that brought joy to my heart.  She said, “What do you mean you’re not sure what school you’re bringing your daughter to?  Burkevale is the best and only school to send your kids.  There really is no other choice if you want the most caring environment and staff, and the best education around.”  For years, I have felt this way about our staff and students, and it’s fantastic to hear it echoed by our parent community.  Thank you! 

It seems like forever since we have been together and so many staff have commented on how much they’ve missed the students.  This year will be like no other, but in true Burkevale community fashion, I am confident that our students, families and staff will work together to make this a positive learning experience for everyone.  We are committed to supporting the entire child – social, emotional, physical, mental and academic.  We have put structures in place to engage/re-engage students as the new school year begins to help make this year amazing!

January 2025 Newsletter

Happy New Year! As we reflect on the close of 2024, we hope it was a season rich with the company of family and friends—an opportunity to focus on what truly matters, creating lasting memories with those we hold dear. In the whirlwind of our daily lives, it’s easy to forget to carve out moments for ourselves and our loved ones, often thinking that tomorrow will offer more time. This year, our school community has faced some hard truths, reminding us all that tomorrow is never promised. As we step into the new year, we encourage you to make resolutions that prioritize living in the present, cherishing your own well-being, and nurturing the relationships that mean the most. May 2025 be a year of mindful living, where time spent with loved ones takes precedence, and we remember to value each moment.

Mark your calendars as booked for December 17th (snow date of the 18th) for the Burkevale Christmas concert. Despite a library still being on the stage, a student population that is beyond the capacity of our gymnasium (let alone when parents and/or grandparents join in the festivities), we are forging ahead, once again with our Christmas concert
