School Notes:

At Wingra we believe...
The community is an extension of the classroom.
Learning is more than accumulating facts.
Knowledge means more when it comes from experience and guided inquiry rather than lectures and textbooks.
Instruction in reading, writing, math, science, social studies, geopgraphy, history, music, art, Spanish, libray technology, and physical educationthat is woven together into themes helps children make connections.
Collaboration among students, teachers, parents, and the community builds academic excellence and joyful learning.
