Whiteville Elementary School

Preparing Students for Life 

The theme for the school year is "STARS:  Students and Teachers Are Reaching for Success. All our students and faculty are STARS.  

The 21st Century Summer School Program is over for this school year.  The total enrollment was over fifty students with six teachers and adult assistants; with the daily average attendance of forty-seven.  All the students and teachers reported having a great time and learning something new each day.  The students can hardly wait until the start of school so they can show off what they learned.  Ms. Polk was very proud of the hard work the students and teachers did during the 21st Century Summer School Program.  

   Whiteville Elementary School (WES) will have the annual "spring" cleaning during the month of July.  There will be a few changes in the two buildings with teachers moving from one room to another.  Ms. Polk and the staff are working to make sure the 2009-2010 school year gets off to a smooth start.
 
    The first day for teachers and staff is August 3, 2009.  Teachers and staff will be at Whiteville Elementary School for the entire day.  The first day of school for the students is August 6, Thursday, which will be a half day.  Then there are full days until December 18.   If you have any questions about the school calendar please visit the Hardeman County Schools website at www.hardemancountyschools.org.  You should find needed information there; if you have other questions please come by the school or call. 

     The 2009-2010 school year starts off with block scheduling which is new to Whiteville Elementary School.  All of the schools in Hardeman County will be on some form of block scheduling, which will ensure all students can meet the new standards set forth by the federal and state education departments.  Whiteville Elementary School is moving into the technology world at a fast pace.  Ms. Polk is working to update the present computer lab and add a second computer lab to the school.  The students of WES are learning with more hands-on projects in each of the subject areas.

    WES is looking forward to a swift ending of the summer "break" and a fantastic start to a new school year.  
  

     We want to remind parents and other community members there is an open door policy at Whiteville Elementary. We encourage parents to come see the children learning each day.  The one exception to this policy is our H.E.A.R.T. reading program. Please not disturb Kindergarten through eighth grade classes during their RTI reading from 8:15-10:15a.m.
