Principal's Message

Dear Harte Families,

On behalf of our entire staff, welcome to the 2026–2027 school year!

I hope your summer was filled with rest, laughter, adventure, and special moments with family and friends. Whether you are returning to Harte or joining our Bulldog family for the very first time, we are thrilled that you are here. We are excited to partner with you for another incredible year of learning, growth, and success!

As we prepare to begin a new school year, our teachers and staff are excited to reconnect, welcome our students and families, and create meaningful learning experiences from the very first day. Together, we are committed to creating a school community where every child feels welcomed, valued, supported, and inspired to grow.

💙 STAY CONNECTED

We are excited to begin another wonderful year together! Strong partnerships between home and school make a tremendous difference in our students' success, and we look forward to working alongside you throughout the year.

Please watch for our Harte Family Handbook, which will be sent home during the first few days of school and will include additional information about school procedures, programs, and community agreements.

Throughout the year, you can also stay connected by:

🌐 Visiting our school website - https://harte.lbschools.net/
📸 Following us on Instagram @brethartebulldogs_lbusd
📱 Watching for school communications and updates
☎️ Contacting our school office whenever you need assistance

Thank you for your continued partnership and for entrusting us with your children. We look forward to welcoming our Bulldogs back and making 2026–2027 a year filled with learning, belonging, joy, and success!

In partnership,

Ms. Kimberly Carpenter
Principal
Bret Harte Elementary School 🐾
