Principal's Message

Bancroft Families,

Welcome to our 2025-2026 school year.  I hope this message finds you well and that you’ve enjoyed a restful and rejuvenating summer break. As we gear up for the new school year, we are excited to welcome you and your children back to Bancroft Middle School!

Our skilled and devoted staff is already planning and preparing for your child(ren). Our enthusiastic office team is registering new families, and ordering needed materials. Our hard working and conscientious custodians have spent the entire summer thoroughly cleaning the facility. And, our much-appreciated PTA is gearing up to welcome families, provide volunteer opportunities, and offer other exciting events and programs.

Each year brings positive change. This includes a few additions to our staff. We are delighted to welcome Mrs. McGee, our new counselor, Ms. Quiros, our new 6th grade science teacher, Ms. Edwards, our new Intervention Coordinator, Mr. Picano, our new music teacher, Mrs. Hyson, our new Special Ed. teacher, and Mrs. Barrett, our new SUCSESS teacher. 

A great deal of time, effort and thought has gone into the process of student placement for the 2025-2026 school year.  Classrooms have been balanced academically and socially. Our class lists are structured to provide equitable class sizes at each subject.  Moving students is difficult without causing imbalances and inequities. Any class changes will have to be approved by the Principal or Asst. Principal.

Thank you so much for being positive with your child and helping him or her understand that it is impossible to place all students with a preferred best friend or teacher. ALL of our staff works hard to make school a positive experience for ALL students. The Bancroft staff is eagerly looking forward to enriching your child’s life. Thank you for understanding that it can take a few weeks for a child to acclimate to a new grade, peer group and teacher.
