Dear Bearfield Primary School Families: Welcome back to an exciting year at Bearfield Primary School. My name is Ronica Watford and for the 2013-2014 school year I have the distinct honor to serve Bearfield Primary School as an Administrative Intern under the auspices of the Northeast Leadership Academy at North Carolina State University. It is an exciting time to be Bear Cub parents. Being a Bear Cub parent means committing to maintaining an educational environment in which our students continue to progress in meeting academic standards, become responsible citizens, and acquire the necessary leadership skills to become future leaders. I am looking forward to building educational partnerships with you the parents, the students, and all community stakeholders to provide enriching educational experiences for our students. Bearfield Primary School students are exposed to rigorous and engaging lessons and activities on a daily basis. As parents and guardians, you will be extended the opportunity to get involved by participating in school-sponsored events, EOG parent workshops, and school committees. Be sure to visit our school website at www.hertfordd.k12.nc.us for updated information about our school and upcoming events. As partners in education, I am eager to begin this yearlong journey of learning and growing with you. I look forward to meeting every family and student in our school; feel free to stop by to meet me, my office is located on the 2nd Grade hallway room 36. My door is always open so never hesitate to stop in, even if its just to say hello. Our vision here at Bearfield Primary School is: Hand in Hand, TogetherWe are making a difference and I believe that if we the staff and the parents act as a team, our students will reach their full academic potential. Looking forward to a great school year. Lets Go Bear Cubs!
