Dear New Bear Valley Families,

We are thrilled to welcome your family to our school community for the upcoming 2026-27 school year! THANK YOU for choosing us as part of your child’s educational journey.

We’re proud to share that word is OUT and spreading about the exceptional learning experiences we provide—we’re now on the waiting list in all three grades! This is a testament to the hard work of our students, families, and dedicated staff. We can’t wait for your child to be part of what makes our school so special.
