Walkerton Elementary Administrator Kara Kaser announced today that every WES third grader passed the state-required IREAD-3 assessment. The state of Indiana sets a goal of 95% proficiency, and this group exceeded that goal with an outstanding 100% pass rate.

Students received the exciting news firsthand during a surprise confetti celebration held in their honor this afternoon.

Mrs. Kaser praised the hard work and dedication of the students, as well as the collaborative efforts of the third grade teachers, Title I staff, resource teachers, and the kindergarten through second grade teams—all of whom played an important role in this achievement.

Congratulations, Walkerton Elementary School!

Tanner Smith, one of the stars of Netflix's Love on the Spectrum, sends positivity to our WES Students and Staff. 

WES is celebrating Dot Day in a big way.  Inspired by Peter Reynolds' book 'The Dot,' students have been practicing positive self talk and encouraging others.  September's focus trait is Courage. Our students have the courage to step up in many situations and do the right thing.  They have the courage to take the first step in a big challenge or a new experience.  

Please note that NLES students will also need a pair of non-marking tennis shoes and an art-shirt.
