Waltham Elementary School District - Prepare, Respect, Inspire, Dream, Encourage

Each year, our school gathers for a special assembly to remember September 11, 2001, and to honor those impacted. During the assembly, our eighth-grade students led in teaching about the events of 9/11 and why it is important to pause and remember.

Following the assembly, every student (K–8) and staff member places flags on the front lawn—one for each life lost on 9/11. This powerful visual tribute serves as a reminder of the lives lost, the bravery of first responders, and the importance of unity in our community and our country.

Our school has experienced significant growth in student numbers since our building's construction just five years ago. To accommodate this growth and ensure that every student receives the quality education they deserve, we want our community to have the facts.

The possible proposed expansion aims to provide additional space and resources to support our growing student population effectively. By investing in this expansion, we can maintain the high standards of education and facilities that our community values.

This website serves as a hub for all information related to the facility planning, including details about the proposed expansion, the reasons behind it, and how it will benefit our students and community. We encourage all members of our school community to explore the information provided here and in the section below. Check back often for new information. If you’re curious about any of the choices we make or wish to understand more about our offerings, you’re in the right place. We encourage you to explore the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) link, which covers various topics we’re frequently asked about. This section is where we will house all future FAQs, so please check back often.

Together, let's ensure that our school continues to thrive and provide an enriching learning environment for generations to come.
