Message from the Principal

Dear Williston Elementary Families and Community,

At Williston Elementary School, our top priority is ensuring that every student receives high-quality instruction and the academic support needed to succeed. I am proud to work alongside a team of dedicated, highly qualified teachers who are deeply committed to student learning and growth. Each day, our staff delivers engaging, standards-aligned instruction while closely monitoring student progress to ensure all learners are supported and challenged.

 Our mission this year is to focus on academic excellence, kindness, and community involvement. We strive to ensure that every student feels valued, supported, and challengedOur teachers use research-based instructional practices, ongoing assessment data, and collaborative planning to inform their instruction and respond to individual student needs. Whether students require targeted interventions, small-group support, or enrichment opportunities, we are intentional in providing the right supports at the right time. This focus allows us to strengthen foundational skills while also encouraging critical thinking and academic confidence.

We believe strong family partnerships are essential to student success. By working together, we create a learning environment where students feel supported, valued, and motivated to achieve their best. Our goal is for every child to leave Williston Elementary as a confident, capable learner who is well prepared for continued academic success and to become a productive member of our community.

Thank you for your continued support and trust in Williston Elementary School. Together, we will continue to build a school community where excellent teaching and purposeful academic support remain at the heart of everything we do.

 

Go Big Red!

Dr. Emily Hancock
