Barkerville

I am the extremely proud principal of Stearns Elementary and have been since 2017. This school is small but mighty. The staff here are the most dedicated professionals I have ever worked with. They take professional learning extremely seriously and are always looking for ways to best reach their students. They collaborate on a daily basis and support each and every child, not just those in their classrooms. Each child is greeted by name as they enter the building every morning and celebrated each month during our whole school Gatherings. We celebrate differences that make us unique. We have the only co-taught model in Berkshire County where every classroom from Kindergarten through Grade 5 has a special education teacher, a general education teacher and a paraprofessional working alongside one another all day to support the learning needs of every child. We pride ourselves in small group, targeted instruction at each child's ability level. The academic as well as social emotional gains of students is truly spectacular. I have an open door policy for all caregivers and community members to share ideas to better our school community and we love sharing our success stories with those who love us. We can't wait to meet you! Welcome to the family :)

this school has the best education and best classes
