Bryn Mawr Elementary School has been honored with a variety of awards including the California Distinguished School Award (2002 and 2006), Golden Bell Award for Parent Involvement (2001), Title I Achieving School Award (2003, 2006, 2007), Theresa P.

We have also been recognized as a California Business for Excellence in Education (CBEE) Honor Roll STAR School in 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016.  These pillars of recognition validate the exemplary staff, parents, students, and programs that define this outstanding public school.

Our school's dedicated teaching staff includes 25 Transitional Kindergarten through 5th-grade general education teachers, as well as 2 Special Day Classrooms serving grades Kindergarten through 5th and one Specialized Academic Instruction teacher. We also support our student needs with a library technician, computer lab paraeducator, Elementary School Counselors, a Speech/Language therapist, school psychologist, and 3 Reading Intervention teachers.  Along with our office, custodial, cafeteria, campus monitor, and other support staff, we are dedicated to providing a safe and productive learning environment that engages all our students and their families.

Dear Blue Jay families,

Welcome to the 2018-2019 school year! 

Since joining Bryn Mawr in 2013 I have been so very fortunate to be part of an amazing school and staff dedicated to growing our students academically, emotionally, and socially.  While we have seen changes in education in recent years I am happy to say the strong partnership with our students, parents, and community members has remained a constant.  It is the basis on which we build our success, and on which we continue to grow together as a community of learners.  This formula for success helped us achieve the designation of California Distinguished School in 2018, and I know even greater things are in store for our Blue Jay community!

I look forward to another great year of working to see students grow in their wisdom and kindness toward others, and become prepared to take the next steps towards their futures filled with great potential and limitless possibilities.  I am so proud of each one of our Blue Jays, and believe greatly in their being able to go forward to impact our world in positive ways.

If you have any questions or needs, please feel free to contact me at school.  I look forward to seeing you on campus or at one of the many activities we have scheduled during the school year as part of our wonderfully supportive PTA.  If you can, please volunteer!  We have many ways for you to get plugged into school life, and we appreciate it greatly when parents get involved in their child's learning.

Sincerely,

Rick Aleksak, Principal
