Welcome to Banyan Elementary School

We hope that you find Banyan to be an exciting place where students enjoy attending.  We strive to create an environment where families feel welcome and enjoy participating in our many events.

Banyan provides a warm, stimulating environment where students are actively involved in learning academics, as well as, positive values.  Students receive a standards-based, challenging curriculum by dedicated professional staff and based on the individual needs of the students.  Ongoing evaluation of student progress and achievement helps us refine the instructional program so students can achieve academic proficiency.

We continue to be committed to providing the best educational program possible for all students and welcome any suggestions or questions you may have about the information contained on this website or about the school.  Together, through our hard work, our students will be challenged to reach their maximum potential.

Banyan School is committed to providing quality education with an emphasis on academics.  Students will gain a solid foundation in the basic skills of Reading, Mathematics, Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, Health, Physical Education, and Fine Arts, as well as utilizing today's technological resources.  We will set high standards and expectations for all students in an atmosphere of love, respect and excellence while maintaining a safe and orderly environment.

Welcome Bulldog Families!  At Banyan Elementary, we strive to provide our students with the best educational experience by creating a safe and positive learning environment, by providing students with rigorous standard based instruction through the use of state adopted materials, and by ensuring that the individual needs of our students are met.  We believe strongly in the ability of our students to achieve at a high level and our highly qualified staff provides them with the tools they need to be successful.  Student safety, academic achievement, and building character are some of our top priorities for our Bulldogs. 

With this in mind, it is through a strong home and school partnership that we are able to achieve such high standards and provide the best learning opportunities for our students.  We welcome parent involvement and encourage you to be an active participant in your child’s educational journey. There are a variety of ways to become involved such as PTA, volunteering in your child’s classroom, attending school events, helping with your child’s homework, and by communicating with your child’s teacher on a regular basis.  

We take pride in celebrating the success of our Bulldog students within the classroom, during assemblies, and at recesses.  You are welcome to join us on Friday mornings in the quad for our weekly Bulldog assemblies where we celebrate students and show our Bulldog pride.  Please see the Weekly newsletter, which is emailed out each weekend, for the upcoming events and the special activities that are happening on campus or in the community.  

We look forward to working with you to provide the best educational opportunities for your child! Our staff looks forward to a year filled with lots of learning and joyous memories and to...“Let the Good Things Grow!”

Sincerely,
Dolly Bentley
Principal
