Broadneck

Who We Are: Our Community and School Culture

  • Each of our schools’ leadership teams analyzed the factors that impact their students’ ability to engage deeply and achieve academic success. They shared stories of their students and families, some of whom are facing serious challenges associated with physical wellness, social-emotional stability, unique learning needs, family security, mental health, violence, and food/housing uncertainties. They discussed the obstacles that their students face daily when preparing to come to school on time, ready to learn.

    Questions such as the following drove discussions around Anne Arundel County: 

    • What are the challenges and obstacles that negatively affect our students’ engagement and achievement most significantly and why?
    • Are we analyzing our data and listening closely to learn about all of our students when we seek to understand our learners’ social-emotional and academic struggles?
    • How do cultural differences, language challenges, transportation difficulties, health problems, and frequent family relocation (mobility) serve as obstacles to school success for our students?
    • What resources and supports are available within AACPS and across our county to support students and families in need?  How do we help our families receive the supports they need?

Our School Culture

  • Below is the school’s story as seen through the eyes of school leaders. They discuss the culture of their school and the community.

    At Broadneck, we strive to inspire students to value themselves, to be motivated to learn, and to see the prosperity and results of hard work. Broadneck’s Be Kind formed by students on field positive school culture supports the use of the most effective instructional strategies specific to each student’s level of readiness. We cultivate an environment that embraces and understands students’ social-emotional needs and developmental milestones. 

    Teachers, students, and community members are excited about the opportunity of having the Triple E (Enhancing Elementary Excellence): STEM in Society program at Broadneck. Our students gain valuable experiences and knowledge through the lens of project-based learning, while applying STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) concepts and skills.

    Broadneck Elementary serves an ever-growing school population. We are fortunate to have an experienced and consistent staff to meet the needs of our students. Our students engage in a variety of community outreach programs throughout the year. Some of these include the Blue Ribbon Project and The Polar Bear Plunge. We also have a strong bond with the St. Margaret’s Women’s Guild. The group provides many volunteers who work with students throughout the school. Scout is our service dog who comes to school and “reads” with our primary students. Students also have opportunities to give back to the community. For example, they have packaged boxed lunches for the local homeless shelters. Many teachers had their students create inspirational cards for local nursing homes, hospitals, homeless shelters, and veterans. Finally, each year Broadneck Elementary School’s stakeholders open the hearts and minds of local students by collecting thousands of books for the Holiday Book Drive. The purpose of these programs is to create a sense of global awareness that will lead our students to become respectful, responsible, and impactful world citizens. These experiences enhance our positive culture as students find ways to work together to solve problems and strengthen our community.

The school’s leadership team identified the following elements as impactful for their students.
