Welcome to Longfellow Elementary School.  

The purpose of this handbook is to provide you with a point of reference in understanding the practices and procedures that drive our decision-making processes at Longfellow School. 

The Longfellow School staff is committed to ensuring that all students grow and learn, academically and socially.  This commitment leads to the design of complex systems and programs that reach the diverse learning population that defines our school community.  To support this effort, this handbook will serve as a valuable resource. Inside are answers to many questions families typically wonder about or ask us.  You are encouraged to read this handbook and refer to it as a resource throughout the school year. 

As a community we are committed to working together to protect our environment.  We are continually identifying ways that we can reduce our consumption and reuse resources and materials.  In this spirit, we have worked to streamline the language in our handbooks so that it can be used from year to year. This handbook may be accessed online or a hard copy will be provided to families upon request. Each year we will post on the Longfellow School website the information that changes annually or that is specific to the current year.  Hard copies of these annual updates may also be provided to parents upon request.  

Our staff looks forward to working with you.  We encourage you to become involved in our school community as your time permits.  We welcome and value your thoughts and insights.  Your contributions are critical to the success of our children. 

Sincerely,   

Nicole Bradeen
Principal
