Welcome Letter

It is with great excitement and gratitude that I welcome you to Lake Garda School! I am honored to begin my first year as principal of this incredible school community. After spending the past 20 years in education in Bristol—as a classroom teacher, instructional coach, and building administrator—I am thrilled to bring my experience and passion for student success to Lake Garda.

At Lake Garda, we believe that every child is capable of success. Our mission is to create a warm, inclusive, and collaborative school environment where all students feel safe, supported, and inspired to reach their fullest potential. We are committed to teaching the whole child—nurturing not only academic growth, but also social-emotional development, creativity, and character.

I deeply value the power of a strong home-school connection. When families and educators work together, children thrive. I look forward to building meaningful partnerships with you as we support your child’s journey through elementary school.

Lake Garda is more than just a school—it’s a place where children feel at home. Our school community is like an extension of family, and we take great pride in fostering a culture of kindness, respect, and belonging. At LGS, we live by our core values:
“Be respectful, be responsible, be friendly—it’s the dolphin way!”

I am so excited for the year ahead and all the learning, laughter, and growth it will bring. Please don’t hesitate to reach out—I look forward to getting to know you and your family.

Warmly,
Alissa Keane
Principal, Lake Garda School
