The online parent survey will be available from through November 19, 2021 and may be completed from any device with internet access.

I had the privilege this afternoon of accepting a wonderful donation of books for our school from Mrs. Carol Williams in memory of Reva Paxton, a long time educator at Walton Elementary Middle School.
The books were donated by the MU Chapter of the Delta Kappa Gamma Society which Ms. Paxton was an active member of.
The books will first be shared with our second grade classes during the month of October through a collaboration with the Hill and Hollow Garden Club.
After that, the books will become cataloged in our school library for all students to enjoy.
Join us for Parent/Teacher conferences this Thursday, September 16, 2021 from 4pm - 6pm.
