    Walt Disney Elementary School is a diverse, friendly, and close-knit community that embraces our rich traditions and history. We are committed to fostering a welcoming and affirming environment for our students while preparing them for success in the 21st century. We invite you to join us in our efforts to create an exciting and engaging environment for our students to learn about their community, their world, and themselves.

    Our staff is committed to creating a welcoming and affirming environment for all school stakeholders. There are many ways we can work together to teach and inspire our students to achieve individual excellence. 

    Here are a few ideas for you to consider as we work together to establish a strong home-school partnership focused on each individual student’s success at Walt Disney Elementary:
