Greetings, and Welcome to Williamsburg Elementary School!
On behalf of the Williamsburg team it is an honor to welcome you to our site. Here at Williamsburg we believe strongly in working together as a team – students, parents, and staff – to provide students every opportunity to develop into self-directed, lifelong learners; effective communicators; complex, creative, & adaptive thinkers; and collaborative & productive citizens (which just happens to be our shared district vision!)
Williamsburg is a very special place. Within these walls our students work with highly dedicated educators who continually engage in professional development and collaboration to ensure we are always learning and growing along with our students. I’m pleased to say that we are frequently commended for the positive atmosphere in our building. It is extremely important to us that we provide a welcoming, caring environment that students enjoy being part of each day.
Academic excellence can be found in all Geneva schools. In addition to our regular curriculum which includes Reading/Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies, Geneva schools provide Advanced & Enriched (A/E) programming for students who qualify in the areas of Reading and Math. Reading support is available for struggling readers through our Reading Lab/Reading Tutor program and Special Education programming is provided based on individual student need for all students who qualify. Programming also includes Art, Music and PE for all students grades K-5, and the option of either Band or Orchestra beginning in 5th grade.
Here at Williamsburg all students participate in “Second Step”, a school-wide, classroom-based program designed to increase student school success by teaching key skills for getting along with others, managing strong emotion, and learning basic skills for academic success like following directions and focusing attention. Williamsburg provides a well-rounded educational experience within a beautiful, state-of-the-art facility.
There is extensive technology support for students including 1:1 devices provided to each student K-5 in addition to SmartBoards and iPads in our younger grades. Members of our parent community participate in a variety of ways in the school on a daily basis, and we have an active, vibrant PTO organization that provides a wide variety of extracurricular activities and events in addition to generous fund-raising support.
We recognize that we have been entrusted with an awesome responsibility – the education of this community’s children – and we are committed providing a positive educational experience for each student in our care. As individuals and as a school community we strive to respond to student needs and parental concerns with integrity, compassion, and fairness. While we are extremely proud of the Williamsburg program, we recognize there will always be room for continued growth and improvement. To this end, we welcome your comments and suggestions. By working collaboratively, we can ensure a successful educational experience for each child.
Thank you for visiting our site today, we hope you enjoy your visit.
Sincerely,
Dr. Julie Dye, Principal
Williamsburg Elementary School
