Gardner Middle School (5-7)

Dear Families,

As we begin a new school year, I would like to introduce myself as the new principal of Gardner Middle School. I believe that a strong partnership between our school community and families is vital to your child's success.

Our teachers and staff are eager to provide learning opportunities where your child can thrive and develop individual gifts and talents. This will be accomplished through collaboration, personalization, engagement, and equity for all stakeholders. It includes authentic instruction based on individual prior knowledge, interests, and passions beyond the typical structure of a school.

Gardner Middle School's core values embody that "all stakeholders within our school community will Respect Our: Environment, Others, Learning, and Self.” Each of us plays a vital role in upholding these values that define our school. I encourage all students and staff to take ownership of individual learning and strive to be the best version of themselves daily.

Together, we will make this school year one of growth, discovery, and pride for our community. 

Yours in Partnership,

Brian J. Cote

The Middle School, in cooperation with family and community, endeavors to develop in every student an awareness of our democratic society and to provide the student with the initial tools needed to become a contributing member of this society.
