Description

Briarcliff Elementary School is a traditional neighborhood school serving a diverse population of approximately 600 students in kindergarten through fifth grade. Briarcliff is located on a quiet neighborhood street, surrounded by woods which include a nature trail.

Upon entering Briarcliff, visitors will find a friendly, dynamic environment, one that is welcomed by a professional and friendly office staff. Student work brightens hallways and administrative offices. Classrooms are inviting places where children and teachers are actively involved in the teaching/learning process. At Briarcliff we want students to enjoy their learning experiences with academic achievement being our top priority. This strong commitment for optimal performance of all students is delivered by an experienced, caring staff. Our teachers foster curiosity and provide enriching experiences in a safe and caring environment to promote life-long learning. They participate in Professional Learning Teams as they work together to analyze data from on-going assessments and monitor student progress to plan for instruction. This assures alignment with state and county curriculum as well as school goals. We utilize our community partnerships and available technology to promote 21st century learning, all while maintaining a family friendly environment.

Briarcliff students also learn to be respectful, caring people through many outreach and character education programs throughout the year, as we learn to care for others as much as we care for ourselves.

Administrators are actively involved in all facets of the school and its mission. The principal and assistant principal are visible, accessible and supportive of parents, teachers and students. They encourage open communication, and high expectations for all students and staff.
