About Whittier

The Mission of the Whittier Elementary School family is to provide a safe, collaborative, child-centered environment. Optimal learning is ensured for each student through diverse, meaningful educational opportunities, developing confident, contributing citizens.

Whittier Elementary School is a community of learners, dedicated to ensuring high levels of learning for ALL students. Each staff member is committed to the development of the total child in every venue of our school.

Provided with a safe, nurturing, supportive environment our students enjoy each other. They contribute to our positive culture, embrace our traditions, and commit themselves to their best effort each and every day.

Recently, the Wisconsin RtI Center recognized our school in Reading and Math at the Bronze level and Behavior at the Silver Level for our work toward fully implementing a school-wide system that, according to national research, leads to improved student outcomes.

By establishing our equitable, multi-level system of supports, we increase consistency of effective instruction, build staff knowledge and skills to equitably support all learners, use data to proactively identify and provide support for students, and create a positive culture that nurtures relationships with students and their families, and communities. This strong foundation helps learners gain the skills needed to graduate ready for college or a career!
