Welcome

Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,
Welcome to the new school year at Ralph J. Bunche Elementary School! We are excited to embark on another year of growth, learning, and achievement with our amazing Braves community.
As we begin the 2024-25 school year, I am thrilled to share some exciting news: construction on our new building will soon commence. This project represents a significant investment in our school’s future, and we are eager to see it come to fruition. We embrace the challenges that come with this construction and are committed to ensuring that it enhances the learning environment for our scholars.
At Ralph J. Bunche Elementary, we pride ourselves on providing a nurturing and safe environment where every child can thrive. Our goal is to offer learning experiences at the highest levels and support our students as they soar to new heights.
This year, our school theme is "In a World of Players, We Are Game Changers." With the acronym G.O.A.L.S.—Goals And Motivation Equal Success—we are committed to fostering a culture of ambition and determination. Our scholars will be encouraged to set and achieve their goals, using their motivation and hard work to drive their success.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Together, we will make this school year one of growth and excellence for all of our students.
Looking forward to a fantastic year ahead!
Warm regards,
Dr. Monya Thomas-Criddle
