The goal of the Barkhamsted School is to foster a positive, inclusive, and supportive school climate by effectively implementing evidence-based strategies for promoting social-emotional learning, engaging in ongoing professional development for staff, and strengthening partnerships among stakeholders. This will ensure a safe, respectful, and equitable learning environment where all students feel valued and supported, in alignment with Connecticut’s School Climate Policy (Public Act 23-167).

This year, our school-wide theme is Connected by Kindness, a reminder of the power we have when we work together as a community - staff, students and families. Kindness creates connection, and connection helps us thrive.
