Welcome to the 2026–2027 School Year!

Dear Hereford Parents and Families,

Welcome to another exciting school year at Hereford Elementary School! I hope you and your family have enjoyed a wonderful summer, and I look forward to partnering with you as we begin the 2026–2027 school year.

One of the greatest joys of serving as principal is working alongside our incredible students, dedicated staff, and supportive families. The strength of the Hereford community continues to inspire me, and I am grateful for the partnership we share in helping every child learn, grow, and succeed.

This year's school theme, "Bee the Best You Can Be!", reflects our continued commitment to our Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) program. Throughout the year, we will encourage every student to strive to be their personal best—academically, socially, and emotionally. By demonstrating kindness, responsibility, respect, and perseverance each day, our students will continue to build a positive school community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

At Hereford Elementary, we remain committed to providing a safe, welcoming, and student-centered learning environment where every child feels valued and supported. We also recognize that a strong partnership between home and school is one of the most important factors in a child's success.

We are committed to ensuring that all parents and families:

• Feel genuinely welcomed when visiting or contacting the school;

• Are encouraged to ask questions and share concerns about their child's experience;

• Receive clear and timely information to support student learning at home;

• Are offered meaningful opportunities to be engaged in their child's education.

Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education. Together, we will make this a year filled with learning, growth, and success as we all strive to Bee the Best We Can Be!

Hereford Proud,
Jeffrey Fries
