My daughter is currently a 5th grader at New Berlin Elementary. She has been going to this school since kindergarten. As a parent, I'm thankful to every single faculty and staff at NBE. They are such caring group of people. They'll communicate with the parents from class dojo phone app (even late at night, early morning or even on the weekends) phone voicemail, school FB page and Tuesday folders. Making sure everyone is getting the message one way or the other.
It takes a big heart to help shape little minds. NBE has been providing a safe, loving place for the children. My daughter is loving every single faulty and staff there. Thank you NBE!!! Close Quote

Absolutely the best school my son has ever attended. He’s been there since 2nd grade and he is moving onto 6th grade at Oceanway Middle next school year 2018-2019. The staff is wonderful and the teachers are amazing. They definitely do their job right! They keep students on track and help them if they fall behind, they make sure no student falls behind by doing everything possible to help a child learn. Great communication with staff and even better communication between teachers and parents. My son and I will miss this school tremendously but we have made great friends with other student and parents and we will always be grateful for having the opportunity of becoming part of the New Berlin Elementary Family!!! A++++ for this school. Close Quote
