Dear Parents

Blanchard School is a school where teachers are committed to excellence in education. We strongly believe that all children can learn and that it is our job to implement a variety of programs to make certain that we reach as many students as we can. Blanchard has wonderful parent involvement. Parents are constantly involved in their child's education and are quite visible in the building. I invite you to visit our school at any time.
Sincerely,
Rochelle Jones
