About Us:

Boyertown Elementary School is one of seven elementary schools in the Boyertown Area School District. Our school is located in the town of Boyertown and is across the street from Junior High West. We currently have approximately 675 students in Kindergarten through sixth grade. We have four classes in each grade from Kindergarten to sixth grade for the 2006-2007 school year, except for second grade which has 5 classes. There are also four Learning Support classes.

Students receive Art, Library, Music, and Wellness and Fitness instruction on a weekly basis. We have an upgraded computer lab at BES. We have one full time and one part time Reading Specialist. We also have a part time Remediation teacher and a full time Guidance Counselor. In addition, there is a Student Assistance Team to support students who are having academic and/or behavioral difficulty.

BES is a quality school in which every child is viewed as an individual by the members of our very caring and dedicated staff. It offers numerous learning opportunities for its students. The curriculum has been approved by the school board and is based upon the state standards. Student achievement is measured throughout the year by both informal and formal methods.

In the spring, students in Kindergarten, second, fourth, and sixth grades will receive DARE instruction. This excellent D rug A buse R esistance Education program is provided by the Colebrookdale Police Department.

We are fortunate to have very supportive parents and guardians who volunteer to share their time and talents with our school. Boyertown Elementary School has a very active Parent and Teacher Organization (PTO). Parents/Guardians are encouraged to join this organization and become involved in the numerous activities that occur throughout the year.

The excellent staff at BES is very dedicated and caring. Our teachers actively attend conferences, go to workshops, and take courses to continue to learn and grow. The overall theme will be “No Place for Hate”. We became certified as a “No Place for Hate” school in the spring of 2006.

Our students have a positive attitude toward learning. As students, parents, teachers, support staff, and the community continue to work together, we can help our students prepare for the many exciting possibilities the future holds.
