Welcome Back Windermere Whales
Welcome, Windermere Families!
It is with great excitement that I welcome you to the 2025–2026 school year at Windermere Elementary School. As we begin another year of learning, growth, and connection, I am reminded of what makes our school such a special place: our shared commitment to the values that help every student—and every member of our community—thrive.
This year, we continue to embrace our Windermere R.I.S.E. principles, which guide the way we learn, lead, and support one another each day. We strive to be Respectful, treating others with kindness and care. We value being Inclusive, ensuring that every student and family feels welcomed, seen, and celebrated. We practice Self-control, making thoughtful choices even when challenges arise. And we work to Elevate our Excellence, continually growing, improving, and rising to the top together.
As you walk through our halls this year, you’ll see these values reflected in our classrooms, our conversations, our celebrations, and the way we show up for one another. I am so proud of the joy, curiosity, and resilience our students bring to our school each day, and I am grateful for the partnership of our staff and families who make Windermere a warm and uplifting community.
Thank you for being part of the Windermere family. I look forward to a wonderful year filled with learning, laughter, and opportunities for all of us to R.I.S.E. together.
With excitement for the journey ahead,
Jennifer Hill
Principal, Windermere Elementary School
