Whiteville Elementary School

Preparing Students for Life 

A E I O U  Academic, Excellence, Is, Our. Ultimate Goal. The theme for the 2009-2010 school year.  

    After missing several days because of snow and ice, we are back in the swing of things here at Whiteville Elementary School.  The 5th and 8th graders did a great job with the writing assessment; we are very proud of the hard work they did.  All of the students are still writing and working on producing that "perfect" paper. Our students are also gearing up for the TCAP test which is the third week in April.  Remember parents, guardians, and people of the community; we are all teachers. Each one of us can help a child learn something everyday and at anytime.

     IT IS BACK!  What you may ask, the annual Book Fair, of course.  Whiteville Elementary School's book fair has returned with some of the most awesome books this year.  Our librarian, Mrs. Rachel Weir,  encourages all students, parents, and people of the community to come and check out the book fair.  The book fair starts Tuesday, March 2nd at 8:30 and ends Monday March 8th at 6:00p.m. (Ms. Weir is looking for volunteers to help run the book fair, call the school or come by to pick a time and day that you can volunteer.)  To kick off the book fair, WES is having the "Read Across America" program from 8:30 until 9:00 March 2nd.  This is a time when volunteers go into each homeroom to read to the students.  In the past there have been readers from local and state government, community leaders, business leaders and some very special parents who have taken time out of their busy schedule to come read to the WES students.  This year will be no different because anyone can come in and read.  "Read Across America" program started as a celebration to honor "Dr. Seuss", who strongly believed in reading to others as well as reading for you self. If you would like to come read March 2, 2010 and demonstrate your love for reading, just call the school.

    The annual Science Fair is March 25th starting at 6:00p.m. The students at WES are working on their science fair projects.  If you have not been ask to assist in that volcano building or trying to find just the right connector, then you may need to ask your child "What are you doing for the science fair?"  After that, your child and you will need to get busy because the science fair will be here soon.  So make sure you have all the ingredients to have a first place winning science fair project.  If you need more information come by the school and one of the teachers or the librarian will help you.  Good Luck to all the students and their helpers  Everyone is invited to come see all the great science fair projects March 25th.


     The Parent Teacher Involvement (PTI )Team meeting is March 18, 2010 starting at 6:00p.m.  The first graders are presenting the program for the PTI Team meeting.   Most PTI Team meetings are usually the third Thursday night of each month. Remember, if you would like to vote during a PTI Team meeting, you must be a member of the PTI Team; dues are only $5.00.  The dues for PTI Team membership is one of the best bargains in town.  Dues can be paid at any time.  See you at the next PTI Team meeting.

    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 do not disturb Kindergarten through eighth grade classes during their RTI reading from 8:15-10:30a.m. and RTI math from 11:00 until 2:30p.m.
