Dear Ivy Drive School Community,
Welcome to Ivy Drive Elementary School! Whether you’re returning or joining us for the first time, we’re excited to have you as part of our P.R.I.D.E.
At Ivy Drive, we are committed to creating a safe, supportive learning environment with high expectations for all students. Our goal is to help students grow academically, socially, and emotionally by focusing on:
Our school-wide P.R.I.D.E. expectations—Persevere, Respect, Integrity, Diversity, Enthusiasm—guide student behavior and help create a positive atmosphere. Through daily P.R.I.D.E. meetings, students will engage in Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) activities that build problem-solving skills, mindfulness, and strong relationships.
To further support learning, we use Learning Targets so students clearly understand their goals, and WINN (What I Need Now) instructional blocks provide personalized support based on data-driven needs.
We believe in open and honest communication between families and staff. ParentSquare is our primary tool for sharing important updates. You can also stay connected via our social media pages:
We look forward to working with you and your child this year! If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at 860.584.7844 or ErikaColeman@Bristolk12.org.
Best Regards,
Mrs. Erika J. Coleman
Principal
To provide all of our students with the mastery of skills, the acquisition of knowledge, and the inherent wisdom that will equip them to compete globally, to serve others locally, and to seek a fulfilling and healthy life.
