BVEE Principal's Message

LeahAnn_Childers

 

Dear Buckeye Valley East Families and Community,

It is with immense pride and excitement that I welcome you to Buckeye Valley East Elementary, home of the Barons!

As your principal, I am dedicated to ensuring that our school is a place where every child is seen, supported, and challenged to grow into the very best version of themselves. This commitment to your child's development extends far beyond the classroom walls and is a shared passion among our entire team.

 

A Culture of Care and Excellence

We understand that a successful school experience relies on a foundation of care and support. Our wonderful staff works together every day to create a positive and nurturing environment:

  • Bus Drivers: Their day starts early and ends late, ensuring our students arrive safely and leave securely, with a friendly greeting or farewell every time.
  • Custodial Staff: They work diligently to keep our hallways sparkling, our classrooms clean, and our learning environment healthy and welcoming for all.
  • Cafeteria Staff: They prepare healthy and nutritious meals, knowing that good food fuels growing minds and bodies for a successful day of learning.

 

Collaborative Learning and Growth

Our instructional staff is truly exceptional. They are dedicated professionals who believe in the power of collaboration—not only with each other to design the most effective lessons but, critically, with you, our families. We know that when we work as partners, we can help your student achieve their academic, social, and emotional goals.

This year, we are thrilled to be in the initial year of our House System. This initiative is all about building strong connections, fostering a deep sense of belongingness, and teaching positive character traits that extend into the community. It’s a fun and exciting way to create a smaller, supportive community within our larger school.

 

Recognized for Our Dedication

The hard work of our students, staff, and families has led to some incredible recognition that we are proud to share:

  • We were honored to be named a 2024 Hall of Fame School by the Ohio Association of Elementary School Administrators (OAESA), a testament to our commitment to continuous improvement.
  • In 2025, we were formally recognized by the Ohio Governor’s office as a Science of Reading School, highlighting our successful implementation of the most effective, research-based methods for teaching children to read.

 

We believe that every child holds unique potential, and we are privileged to be a part of their journey. Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education. We look forward to a fantastic year of learning and growing together!

Sincerely,

Principal Childers
