Winans Elementary School Vision Statement

We, the Winans School family, are a caring, dynamic community of learners who joyfully celebrate learning and growing. All learners feel protected, safe, respected, understood, and loved. We support everyone with dignity and care, and stress the unique worth of each individual and the acceptance and appreciation of differences. We emphasize cooperation, the building of good character, and a commitment toward the larger community. We establish positive and frequent home-school interactions.

At Winans, everyone is a teacher everyone is a learner. We build on the strengths of every individual by using a variety of teaching methods and styles. We encourage everyone to develop and explore their talents and abilities to their fullest potential. We are committed to helping each learner develop thinking processes and lifelong learning skills. We work with each other in flexible, changing groupings that encourage new different insights, while maintaining a high degree of continuity and nurturing.

We provide an integrated curriculum, which meets the developmental needs of all students. Basic skills are tied to personal learning needs and goals and are made meaningful through integrated instruction. We balance independent thinking and self-evaluation, with sensitivity to the needs of self and others. We nurture our minds, bodies, and creative spirits through active, purposeful exploration of the sciences, literature, problem-solving and computational skills, communication skills, the creative arts, physical skills and the use of technology.

At Winans all students will receive a quality education rooted in excellence.
