Welcome to a new school year at Bradford Woods Elementary!

On behalf of the entire Bradford Woods Elementary staff, I hope you and your family are enjoying a safe, restful, and fun-filled summer. As the new principal of BWE, I am honored to join such an exceptional school community, and I am excited to welcome our students back for another incredible year of learning and growth.

Bradford Woods Elementary is truly a special place where every child is known, valued, and cared for by a dedicated team of educators and staff. From the moment I stepped into this building, it was clear that the strong relationships among our students, staff, and families are what make BWE so extraordinary.

This year begins with an exciting achievement worth celebrating. Bradford Woods Elementary was recently ranked #1 Best Public Elementary School in Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, and Pennsylvania by Niche Best Schools. What an incredible testament to the hard work, dedication, and excellence of our students, staff, and families. This recognition reflects the caring culture, high expectations, and commitment to success that define our school community.

Our success at BWE goes far beyond academics. We are committed to educating the whole child by fostering curiosity, confidence, kindness, and resilience while building meaningful relationships with every student and family. Together, we create an environment where children feel supported, challenged, and inspired to reach their full potential.

Below, you'll find important information to help your family prepare for the start of the school year. We look forward to partnering with you throughout the year, and if you have any questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. We are here to help.

Thank you for being such an important part of the Bradford Woods Elementary community. We can't wait to welcome our students back and begin another outstanding school year together!

Respectfully,

Mrs. Jill Fleming-Salopek
Principal
