    Vision

    A Culture for Learning with an Emphasis on the Individual Student

    Lulu Walker’s culture exhibits a shared sense of pride through a safe, caring environment and respect for diversity. Walker’s exemplary learning community promotes a wide range of support and enrichment opportunities, which foster an array of experiences to discover and build individual strengths.

    Our instruction and high expectations stimulate intellectual curiosity, reflect best practice, and elevate student engagement and achievement. We strive to guide our students in accepting responsibility and to be actively engaged in their learning, decisions, and actions. We recognize and accommodate individual differences, interests, and abilities through a variety of assessments, curriculum, and technology. We honor and support the emotional well-being of each member of our community.

     

    Community Engagement

    Lulu Walker values the importance of collaborative relationships with its extended community including families, neighbors, businesses, and other educational systems. We strive to develop a strong commitment between the community and our school, recognizing and celebrating accomplishments and achievements. We encourage our families to be actively involved in their child’s educational experiences and participate in school wide events.
