Welcome to our website!

The instructional program at the elementary level which includes kindergarten through grade five is designed to foster individual student growth, both academically and socially. It is characterized by a balanced and developmental literacy approach to reading and writing, a product and process based mathematics, inquiry science and social studies. Technology is used as a tool integrated throughout all areas. Other programming at the elementary level includes a Charter 4K (kindergarten) and integrated early childhood, special education, art, music, physical education, support for English as a Second Language, strings, orchestra, band, gifted/talented, and several after school options. Both schools have a strong student intervention program to help struggling students achieve academic success. This program includes an after school Homework Help Club. All students are encouraged to work to their maximum potential with an overall objective of continuous progress through developmentally appropriate practices.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT: The mission of Edgerton Elementary School is to create a learning community that serves the unique academic, social, and emotional needs of each student, and empowers students to see themselves as successful learners to ensure that every student meets academic standards.

This is the "first concert" here at Edgerton for our kindergarteners and they, along with the first grade students, are excited to perform for you. Their songs form an eclectic bunch ranging from some old time favorites to new songs that focus on positivie attitudes and being happy. We look forward to seeing you at the concert!

Edgerton Book Swap

If your house is full of no-longer used children's books, please consider donating them to our gently-used book exchange. The Edgerton staff and the PTO are working together to support this literacy initiative which will take place on Tuesday, June 5th. We are accepting books and magazines that are in good, readable condition. Books may be dropped off at the school office. Thank you for your support.

Update on Collaborative Release Schedule for 2012-2013

On Monday, May 7th, the Whitnall school board voted to amend the collaborative release portion of the calendar for 2012-2013. In an effort to create a collaborative release schedule that most effectively meets the needs of our students and families, the board voted unanimously in favor of the amendment, which aligns the elementary schools and middle school with an early release on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month. The high school schedule will remain as proposed, with a late start on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month.

With the collaborative schedule now in place, the district will be working with community partners to finalize and communicate the details of next year's early release activity options for elementary and middle school students. The Whitnall administrative team and staff look forward to the additional opportunities to work together within the framework of professional learning communities made possible by this new collaborative release plan.
