Principal's Corner

It is an honor to be the new principal at Walter T. Bergen Middle School.  I am very excited to work with staff, students, and families to enhance our learning environment and continue to make our school a place where everyone wants to be.  Before joining the Bloomingdale team, I worked as a school counselor and an assistant principal at the middle and high school levels.  My aim will be to work with district administration, teachers, and stakeholders to provide a safe and enjoyable learning environment for all.  By using a rigorous curriculum accompanied by character education and social emotional learning, we will prepare our students to be successful academically and advocate for themselves at the high school level and beyond.  

As we begin the 2024-25 academic school year, I look forward to your support and partnership as we work together to continue to make Walter T. Bergen the best school it can be.  Open communication will be a vital component in our shared success.  Please do not hesitate to reach out to me at any time with any questions or concerns.  Your feedback and input are of the utmost importance.  Thank you and I look forward to being a part of the Bloomingdale community.

Sincerely,

Michael Buesser
