Greetings from the staff of Phillis Wheatley Elementary – Home of the Hornets.
We are looking forward to an exciting and rewarding school year. By working closely with all of our stakeholders, we know we can offer challenging educational programs for our students. We strive for all of our students to experience a well-rounded program that fosters their individuality and strengths.
As parents/guardians and community members, I encourage your active support and participation as we seek to provide a positive learning environment for all of our students. With everyone’s support, we can provide the groundwork for all students to come to school ready to learn.
Please remember that attendance and punctuality are essential to a child’s academic success. It is also important that all students read every night. Academic achievement requires practice, similar to football, cheerleading, playing a musical instrument, dancing, or any extra curriculum activity.
Lastly, I am also requesting your participation in our school improvement process by attending and joining our Educational Excellence School Advisory Council (EESAC). We also invite you to become a school volunteer.
Thank you in advance for your support and we look forward to a fabulous school year!
Cathy M. Williams
Principal
