Welcome to the

2020-2021 School Year

Weigand Tigers!

WEIGAND VISION STATEMENT:

It is our vision that Weigand Avenue Elementary School students will be college bound, career ready and active citizens, who are able to

• Infer and make interpretations of text

• Draw conclusions from text

• Support arguments with evidence

• Resolve conflicting views encountered in source documents and real life situations

• Solve complex problems with no obvious answer as independent, self-sufficient, learners, thinkers and communicators.

WE BELIEVE:

It is our firm belief that by providing students a strong foundation in literacy skills, they will be prepared for the 21st Century. Students will succeed academically, take responsibility for their own learning and grown personally while achieving academic excellence. Students will develop a respect for all people in a diverse community and know that empowerment comes from building a strong foundation in the ability to gain information from text and be able to communicate it.

The Weigand community firmly believes that it is critical for every student to be prepared for an adult life as a productive, analytical, cooperative member of society. The students of Weigand will be fully prepared to pursue a college education by developing those key cognitive strategies and skills necessary to exceed in college and be career ready.
