Greetings Middle School Families,

Welcome back to BZ for the 2024-2025 school year! We are thrilled to have everyone return and are excited to embark on another journey of learning and growth together.

Our school year is off to a fantastic start, filled with energy, enthusiasm, and an eagerness to dive into new experiences. As we move forward, our focus will be on fostering a strong sense of kehillah (community), ensuring each student thrives academically, and hosting a variety of engaging events throughout the year.

Community building will be at the heart of our efforts this year. We believe that a supportive and connected school environment is essential for our students' success and well-being. We will participate in a variety of programs and activities designed to strengthen relationships, encourage collaboration, and celebrate the diverse talents and perspectives within our school community.

Academically, we remain committed to providing a robust learning experience that challenges and inspires every student. BZ’s dedicated faculty are prepared to offer dynamic and interactive lessons that will both engage and stretch students’ thinking as well as their willingness to take academic risks. As always, we are continue to integrate innovative tools and methods to make learning both effective and enjoyable.

In addition to our focus on community and academics, we have an exciting calendar of events planned. From spirited school-wide celebrations and enriching extracurricular activities to educational field trips, there will be numerous opportunities for students to explore their interests and showcase their many strengths.

We are looking forward to partnering with you in this journey and are confident that, together, we can create a remarkable year for our students. Thank you for your continued support and engagement.

Here’s to a fantastic year ahead!

All the best, 

Emily Crane, Head of Middle School
