Dear Bancroft Community,

As we approach the end of the school year, we are filled with pride and excitement as we celebrate our students' achievements and the hard work and dedication of our entire community.

This past week, we’ve enjoyed some truly special events. Our 8th Grade Awards Ceremony honored the outstanding accomplishments of our students, and the 4x4 Academic Achievement Event recognized those who have demonstrated exceptional effort and commitment across all four quarters. We also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our 7th-grade students, history teachers, families, and community members who helped make the Civilizations of the World Night a tremendous success. The creativity and depth of learning on display were truly inspiring.

As we wrap up the year, we want to remind all students and families that we continue to hold students to high expectations. This is the time to finish strong—complete all assignments, prepare for final assessments, and stay focused. Let’s show what it truly means to be a Bronco: taking care of ourselves, taking care of one another, and taking care of Bancroft.

Thank you for your continued support, and let’s finish the year with pride and purpose!

In partnership,

Dr. Sarah, Vice Principal
