Ya’at’eeh Cardinals, friends and family!

We are Bread Springs Day School, proudly representing the Navajo District community and helping students excel above and beyond all proficiency expectations for reading, language arts, science, and mathematics. Our mission is to create safe, caring, and diverse learning environments for every Cardinal to access high-quality learning resources and modalities.

Every day presents a new and exciting opportunity for our Cardinals to gain the knowledge, skills, and behaviors necessary to grow into competent leaders of our sovereign nation. As Bread Springs Day School’s educational programs focus on empirical data gathered from standards-based assessments and benchmarks, all students will benefit from foundational instruction, optimal learning environments, and continual achievement.

 

Strategic Transformation of Education Plan (STEP)

Bread Springs Day School has implemented STEP, Director Tony Dearman's eLMS initiative for a digital learning portal with a blended learning approach. Our students maximize this opportunity by accessing the digital learning portal with a 1:1 student-laptop usage ratio. This approach gives our students every advantage with integrated applications, such as personalized and assessment-based math and reading curriculum, Native language and culture educational programs, and accelerated learning strategies for our tailored instruction. Every one of our students benefits from the robust learning strategy and the comprehensive application of these innovative tools and resources. Bread Springs Day School’s team of dedicated educators are committed to the growth and development of your children—tomorrow’s leaders.

Our Mission

We are a partnership of families, staff, and children, learning by working together in a safe, caring, and educational environment. Our community will enhance students’ ability to communicate, problem-solve, think critically, and foster an appreciation for the uniqueness of their culture and language.

Our Philosophy

We embrace a philosophy that fosters growth, achievement, and cultural pride. We encourage every student to:

  • Be creative learners!
  • Strive for success!
  • Demonstrate their abilities!
  • Strengthen their connection to our culture!

Message from our Principal

Welcome to all of our students and families as we begin another school year and share our journey through our monthly newsletter! Throughout the year, we welcome and value the partnership between home and school. By working together, we can support our students as they learn, grow, and achieve their goals. 

We encourage families to stay connected, communicate with us, and take part in school activities throughout the year. We look forward to a wonderful year filled with learning, positive experience, and opportunities to celebrate our students. Let's make this school year a great one!

As we continue through the year, we remain Rooted in Culture. United in Purpose. Growing Strong Learners.
