Mission Statement:
The Wallington Elementary Schools believe
that all students should have the opportunity to learn within a
positive and challenging environment and to acquire life-long
skills that empowers them to become responsible and productive
members of the community and citizens of the world.
Teachers seek to create a classroom environment that promotes
student success by working with parents and the community in a
partnership to help develop the academic, social, emotional and
physical well-being of all of our children. This is accomplished

problem solving and decision-making skills into nine content
areas. These areas include language arts literacy, mathematics,
science, social studies, world languages, health and physical
education, technology, visual/performing arts and career/family
and life-skills education.
Implementation of the standards allows the school to respond to
the inevitable changes that take place in our family, our
community and the world.
