Principal Levario

Hola Familia,

It is an Honor to introduce myself as the new Principal of Bell Elementary School and to join this extraordinary school TEAM!

I share in this school community's commitment to caring for our children while providing a high-quality learning environment.  This school year will mark my 12th year in Education.  I was an Assistant Principal at Guillen Middle School with the El Paso ISD and was also blessed to be the Assistant Principal at Highland Middle School in Bellevue, WA.  I was also an Assistant Principal at Goddard Junior High School in Midland ISD, TX as well served as the Dropout Prevention and Intervention Coordinator.  It is in my current position as your Bell Elementary School Principal where I am most fulfilled in my life's work.  The elementary principalship provides me with the opportunity to work collaboratively with Teachers while also remaining connected to our students learning and growing in the classroom.

I believe that every child will excel and that the partnership between home and school builds confidence in students to utilize their powers to shape their future and the future of our community.  My conversations with our Amazing Staff, supportive Families and Extraordinary Students over this past month has brought me privileged insights into the core beliefs and values that underlie Bell Elementary School.

One of my many goals is to continue the tradition of excellence!  I am committed to always exploring new ways to meet the needs the of all students and to effectively communicate with parents and community members.  Bell Elementary School has a strong commitment to academic achievement and I am thrilled to work in partnership to ensure that our students receive a meaningful and challenging educational experience.  

In closing, please feel free to contact me or to stop by your campus anytime.  I heartily welcome your conversation and positive input throughout this year.  Let us always keep our students the primary focus of our work.  I look forward to celebrating our collective successes during this exciting school year!

Benito Levario Jr.
