Walkersville Elementary School Vision Statement Walkersville Elementary School (WES) is dedicated to preparing all our students to meet the demands of an ever-changing society. We believe all children can succeed; therefore, we hold every student to the same national, state and local standards of excellence. We strive to help each student meet these challenges with enthusiasm and reach his or her full potential. We are committed to providing education that is multicultural, embraces diversity and emphasizes the pillars of character (trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship) shared by society as a whole. WES is devoted to family involvementand encourages all members of our learning community to collaborate with us in decision making, problem solving and school improvement. When students leave Walkersville Elementary, they possess the skills, knowledge and attitudes to succeed in the future.
