About Us Welcome to Bruce F. Vento Elementary School! Principal - Darrel Rivard Assistant Principal - Linda Parker  Vento School's academic foundation is build upon the following principles: 1. Aligned instruction grounded in an integrated system of standards, instruction and assessment in which: The standards are clearly communicated; High expectations are maintained for all students; and The standards remain the same for all students, but those who need more assistance receive additional time and different modes of instruction. 2. A student's effort and performance is what really matters, not aptitude. Teachers give students the time they need to achieve. 3. Vento's culture focuses relentlessly on the results of student work. Everything that everyone does at Vento School fosters and supports high student achievement; All school administration, faculty and staff know their primary purpose and know it well - to educate children to high standards; and Administrators and teachers analyze data and use the data in their planning.
