I want to share an update with you regarding Walker-Winter Elementary School. After thorough consideration of enrollment trends, building capacity, operational costs, and future housing developments, the district has decided not to recommend the closure of Walker Winter Elementary School to the Board of Education. Nearby schools do not have the capacity to absorb the current and anticipated student population, further emphasizing the necessity of keeping Walker-Winter open.
As we conclude the first month of the school year and settle into our routines, I want to stress how vital regular attendance is to our students' success.

This includes guidance on what actions to take (and what to avoid), the timeline to expect during a lockdown, and an overview of the safety drills conducted across our schools each year.
The District Crisis Team developed these important documents. We encourage all families to review this information to be fully prepared and informed.
