Principal Welcome

 

Dear #WeAreWeaver Community!

Welcome to the start of a new adventure for the 2023-24 school year!

The staff at Weaver believes that ALL children can learn and succeed. Our instructional philosophy is built on the growth mindset which is a research-based philosophy that presumes that all students bring with them capabilities that can fostered and developed by integrating their prior knowledge with proven signature instructional practices. These include balanced literacy, Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI)  in Math, depth and complexity prompts integrated across all disciplines, thinking maps, and a strong STEAM program which incorporates design thinking  and instructional technology.

The elementary years are a time for growth, challenge, and discovery. Our signature instructional practices provide students with a rigorous academic experience. That, along with the infusion of collaboration, communication, creativity and innovation, and critical thinking and problem solving skills, arm our students for success in a rapidly changing global society we can't yet imagine. At Weaver we also foster risk-taking and self­-advocacy skills for all students.

Weaver School believes in and focuses on a collaborative team effort with our staff, students, parents, and community members.We do not take lightly the trust you have placed in us with the education and well-being of your child. The school's culture reflects the highest standard of professional dedication and performance.

I am looking forward to an amazing school year...LET’S CONTINUE TO MAKE WEAVER “A GREAT PLACE TO LEARN!”
