Our Mission at BVES
At Bedford Village Elementary School, we strive to be a CARE-ing community. C.A.R.E. stands for Cooperation, Accountability, Respect and Effort. We celebrate individual students each month who have demonstrated these qualities in their actions and words.
Your Principal
Welcome to Bedford Village Elementary School!
Bedford Village Elementary School is one of the five elementary schools in the Bedford Central School District. We are located in the heart of the historic town of Bedford just off the main street nestled in a residential neighborhood.
We take pride in providing our students an educational experience that fosters a curiosity for learning, rigorous challenges, authentic problem-solving, and a skill set that will establish a solid foundation for future learning. In addition to academic opportunities, our students participate in the arts and physical fitness activities to complete their comprehensive program.
We are a caring community dedicated to the social and emotional well-being of all of our students and staff. During morning announcements, we recite our CARE Pledge in unison. “At Bedford Village, we care. We care about ourselves. We care about each other and we care about our environment.” In addition, each week, teachers facilitate CARE meetings where students share concerns and offer solutions to promote a safe, secure learning community.
