Beep-Beep from the Principal
“I believe in you and you can count on me!”

Dear Waller Road Families and Community,

I know Spring has Sprung. I would like to say it’s because the weather has been so beautiful the past few days; however, I really know Spring is here
because we are almost done taking the MSP
(M-SPring!). The students and staff did a fabulous job of making the MSP a priority. Thanks to the Waller Road PTO, we were able to feed breakfast to every testing student every day they tested. Not only did their tummies get filled, they were filled with the sense of caring and support from the adults here at Waller Road. I sure hope the “Smartcakes” served on the first day did the job for us!
Now we move into the busy activity season. Please post the calendar (right) on your fridge or some other prominent place at home. We would like to have you join us at our upcoming special events such as our music performances, recognition assemblies, the June 1st Native American Celebration, and Field Day on June 15th. Hope to see you here!
Thank you,
Michelle Cruckshank, Principal

Waller Road Elementary community will challenge individual learners to achieve their academic, creative, civic, and physical potential.

We believe that the most promising strategy for achieving the mission of Waller Road Elementary School is to develop our capacity to function as a professional learning community.

We envision a school in which staff:

• Unite to achieve a common purpose and clear goals;
• Work together in collaborative teams;
• Seek and implement effective strategies for improving student achievement on a continuing basis;
• Monitor each student’s progress; and
• Demonstrate a personal commitment to the academic success and general well being of all students
