Twenty Wells Elementary School Parent and Student Handbook

Welcome to Twenty Wells Elementary School! Our entire staff is excited and happy to welcome your child(ren) to our school! We are elated to create a new culture together as we embark on a new journey together. Our excellent teachers and staff are very excited to help all of our students to learn, and we are committed to helping each student achieve his/her potential. We anticipate a spirit of pride at TWES as we work together in building our school community.

We realize that schools are created to serve and to educate students. We intend to maintain high standards of excellence and to establish high expectations for student achievement. With these goals in mind, we anticipate a very productive and rewarding school year. Each of our teachers offer unique educational experiences that will help students to learn and grow, as well as to develop intellectually, socially, physically, and emotionally.

As a staff, we will also teach and practice basic social skills. We believe that everyone who has been taught to demonstrate appropriate social skills will be better prepared to excel academically. All students and staff members need to contribute to and help maintain a safe school environment which is conducive to learning, developing individual responsibility, and providing mutual respect.

We also recognize that the parent is the primary educator of the child, and we encourage you to participate and to get involved in the activities at our school. We believe that “it takes a village to raise a child," which includes a combination of home, school, and community members working together, resulting in a more effective and positive educational experience for all of our children.

In this online handbook, you will find a list of staff members, a daily schedule, a school calendar, dates for Parent-Teacher conferences, school policies, and other useful information. Please use this online handbook as a reference throughout the year. 

Thank you for your interest in and support of Twenty Wells Elementary School. We wish you all the best of luck as we embark on a successful new school year!

Sincerely,

Jeff Zaleski
