Mission Statement

As our students change, programs improve and teaching practices
are refined, new beliefs emerge.  This year the faculty will be creating a new mission statement that defines our purpose as educators.

Principal’s Message

Dear Students, Parents and Guardians,

It is both an honor and a pleasure to welcome you to this extraordinary school.

Briarcliff is filled with teachers and staff who are passionate educators and are dedicated to student learning and achievement. The staff is committed to providing a supportive, safe and fun learning environment where all students are immersed in the best, current teaching practices.

This year we will continue to sustain and build upon the wonderful work presently happening at Briarcliff, so that our children become lifelong learners who grow into responsible citizens. I have no doubt that with the dedication of this fine staff, combined with parent support, central administration, and our Board of Education, our students will achieve at their highest levels.

In closing, you will quickly realize my passion and energy for my job. I truly love what I do! Rest assured your children are in good hands. Every decision I make will take into account the best interests of the children. I have always been and will continue to be a hands-on leader. Your children will always be my first priority.

I look forward to working closely with you to build a strong partnership.

Sincerely,

Jane Ruthkowski
Principal
