Thank you for another successful Parent-Teacher Conference experience. Working with parents is something we don't get to do enough and we appreciate you taking the time to meet. If you were not able to attend our conferences, feel free to email your child's teachers with questions during the year.

Remember that Monday is our Veteran's Day breakfast and assembly. We are looking forward to welcoming many veterans to Bristol Bay. We ask that all students and staff wear red, white, and blue to celebrate.

Finally, I wanted to thank the many parents who reached out with well wishes for me. Today was my last day for a while. I am hopeful to return in January. Please reach out to Mr. Crosby with any needs you may have.



Thank you,

Dr. Spallasso

Bristol Bay Elementary School Families,

I wanted to inform you of some personal news. Unfortunately, due to medical reasons, I will be taking an extended leave of absence to focus on my health and recovery. While this is not an easy decision, it is necessary to ensure I can return to serve our school community with my full energy and commitment.

During my time away, Mr. Brendan Crosby will be stepping in as acting principal. I have full confidence in Mr. Crosby’s ability to continue the important work of supporting our students, teachers, and families.

Mr. Crosby will be assisted by two retired school administrators, Mr. Steve Bjork and Mr. Joel Wyeth. Both Mr. Bjork and Mr. Wyeth spent the majority of their careers in Y115 and they bring much leadership experience to Bristol Bay Elementary School.  Our District administration will also be available to support Bristol Bay Elementary School during my absence.

I know change can bring uncertainty, but I assure you that our outstanding staff remains committed to providing your children with the best possible educational experience. My last day of work will be November 8, 2024. Should you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to reach out to Mr. Crosby at bccrosby@y115.org or call the office at 630-553-5121.

I appreciate your understanding during this time and thank you for the support you have shown me and our school. I look forward to returning as soon as I am able and will keep the school community updated on my progress.

Thank you for your continued partnership in ensuring the success of our students.

Dr. Spallasso
