Walcott Elementary and Intermediate School Strives to be a Progressive Learning Environment Where All Students are Challenged to Reach Their Fullest Potential

The Walcott School staff, along with parents and community members, will provide all students with a variety of meaningful and enriching educational opportunities that prepare them to become life-long learners and productive citizens for the 21st century.

At Walcott Elementary and Intermediate School, we believe:

  • Every person has an equal right to educational opportunities which accommodate their physical, social, emotional, and intellectual interests.
  • Students and staff have a right to a safe and secure school environment.
  • Quality in education must not be compromised because of lack of resources.
  • Every student has the potential to learn, but each at different rates and in different ways.
  • Each person has intrinsic worth, and therefore should be treated with dignity.
  • Public education is an active partnership among the school, the student, the home, and the community.
  • Self-discipline is a prerequisite for the development of higher order thinking skills and the potential lifelong learning.
