Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year. We are excited to open our doors to our sharks as we have missed them in our building.
Willard Model Elementary School is like a family. We are proud to have had a Norfolk Public Schools' Teacher of the Year, Mr. Matthew Roadruck (2014). Additionally, we have had two teachers place in the Norfolk Public Schools' Top 10 Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Sherry Lee (2015) and Mrs. Dana Wakefield (2016). We have a dedicated faculty and staff willing to go "above and beyond" to meet the needs of our students. While students are learning, teachers will be nurturing a positive, safe and caring environment for students to excel. In addition to recognizing students for their academic successes, we are also recognizing students who exhibit positive character traits and make efforts to improve the school day for others. Four overarching themes exist this year as we address behaviors. We are recognizing students who are SAFE, are RESPONSIBLE are RESPECTFUL and are KIND. Please help us reinforce these behaviors by acknowledging these same appropriate behaviors at home.
I invite parents and family members to be actively involved in the daily learning taking place through our school. Small steps will lead to huge successes. Check for classwork that needs to be submitted through Canvas. Check ParentVUE to stay abreast of classwork and test grades. Create an open dialogue with your child about school to learn his/her favorite subjects and why that subject is a favorite.
The faculty and staff at Willard Model Elementary School want all of our students to be successful and feel great about the education they are receiving.
I encourage you to maintain an active role in your child’s education. Together, we can create a positive learning experience for your child.We are in this together. Let’s have a “JAW-some” year!
