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.
