Welcome to Walnut Elementary School!
Our purpose is to ensure a quality education with high levels of learning- every student, every day!
We serve the southeast side of Rock Springs with a K-3 building full of dedicated staff members who work to grow students every day.
We are thrilled you stoped by to check out our website, and we hope you find the information you need.
Please contact the office at 307-352-3225 if you need further assistance!
Our playground is ALL up and running!
We are SO excited to announce that both sides of our playground equipment is ready for use!
Our students waited very patiently while the work was completed to a level of safety we need at school. Their patience was worth it and they can now play on all of the equipment!
They are loving the new pieces and we hope they bring joy and a new level of fun for a long time.
Welcome 2023!
As we bring in this new year, our school year continues to move along. We are continuing our focus on growing reading, writing, and math skills for all students at every level. Kindergarteners are reading and continue to master early literacy skills, first graders are expanding on those literacy skills to read more complex text. Second graders are making the transition from "learning to read" to "reading to learn" and focusing on informational text, while third grade is expanding their knowledge by applying reading skills to a variety of fiction and non-fiction text.
The same holds true for math skills that are developing at all levels. Teachers are sharing with students a variety of ways to solve problems so that students can learn to think about shapes, patterns, numbers, parts, and wholes. It's an exciting time to be at school!
