At George W. Watkins Elementary School we strive to educate the whole child in a secure, nurturing atmosphere. Each child is provided with opportunities to achieve success. We strive to help children develop basic skills so that they will be successful in the future.
Each child needs a strong self-image to develop healthy attitudes toward others and the environment. The school provides an environment that serves as a catalyst for developing positive attitudes. Our school encourages and stimulates creativity and high academic achievement. To accomplish these goals, teachers, parents, students, and the community work together.
We will:
Provide each child with an environment that is secure, comfortable, and stimulating
Provide uninterrupted instructional time that meets the individual needs of students by providing differentiated instructional strategies that lead to the mastery of appropriate academic skills
Provide opportunities for the development of each child’s intellectual, social, aesthetic, personal, and physical growth
Provide an environment that is conducive to a positive self-image
Provide a model for positive human relations’ skills that can be practiced at school, at home, and in the community
Provide children with an appreciation of the need for continued education and life-long learning
