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 Hales Corners Elementary School is to ensure that every student meets all established academic and social standards through engaging instruction in a safe, inclusive environment.

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.
