WALTER COLTON SCHOOL

Welcome to a brand new school year.  All of us at Walter Colton School want to make this a successful year for your child.  Your active support and cooperation, combined with our best professional efforts, will ensure academic success for your child. 
 

We are proud of our staff and students and invite you to be involved in Walter Colton School.  Please visit our classrooms, school office, library, cafeteria, and playground.  There is a spirit of cooperation and progress at our school we want to share with you. 
 

The goal of our school is to provide each student with a challenging and rigorous curriculum appropriate to his/her academic level.  We believe every child can achieve academic success.  To this end, every child will be provided with quality instructional experiences which recognize, support and maintain high expectations for all students. 
 

With parents and teachers working together as a team, towards the same goal, every child will succeed.  In order to give each child the best opportunity for success, we ask that we keep children first in all we do.  If we accept and make real the pledge to keep children first, then it follows that education is our #1 priority.  A school-community with those two concepts as our core value and our common cause will stand ready, willing and able to do what is needed for educating the children, I know our Walter Colton School community is such a place. 
 

As your principal, you can expect that I will reach out to you and ask for your support, ideas, suggestions and involvement.  I will encourage you to join our team, our school family so to speak, where preparing children for the future is our number one priority.  I pledge to do my level best to ensure that each child is challenged, nurtured, and provided with a safe and stimulating learning experience. 
 

On most days I will be on the playground and out visiting classrooms.  I intend to be visible and accessible.  If you ever need to speak with me about anything, please don’t hesitate to call.  I will make time to respond to your needs.  I see close communications as an opportunity to better serve our students. Through teamwork, open communication, and a dedication to continuous improvement, we can make this school a place children delight in and enjoy learning. 
 

We look forward to working together as partners in learning. 
 

Kim Cooper, Principal
