It is this family atmosphere that is the foundation of our success. Walcott is a family with big expectations. Walcott has high expectations of our staff and of our students. We can make a difference, and we believe the biggest mistake is giving up. The trust and expectation of this school family is apparent in our daily interactions. Students are the number one priority of the school district and all staff strives to make sure that the individual needs of all students are met on a daily basis. When students come to school, they know they are in a safe environment that supports their learning needs. School staff have built a trusting relationships between the family and school environment.
