SCHOOL PROFILE

Winget Park Elementary School opened in 2006. This year we will promote our very first Kindergarten class to middle school!

We are located in the Southwestern most corner of Mecklenburg County, our school continues to expand in its sixth year. Enrollment has steadily increased over the past two years. Built for 800 students, we educate 970 talented children each day. We have many students from various grade levels learning in mobile classrooms. Our students are 41.9% White, 30.2% African-American, 18.9% Hispanic, 0.5% Native American, 2.9% multiracial and 5.6% Asian. Students are rewarded with Wolf of the Day and Wolfpack of the Week recognitions. Our students participate in numerous co-curricular activities that are engaging and often community service oriented. Winget Park has 100 faculty and staff members. We have 72 teachers, 16 instructional assistants, four support staff/secretaries, four custodians, five cafeteria workers, and two administrators. Our Before and After School Enrichment Programs are operated by a director and seven staff members. Eight of our teachers are National Board Certified and thirty have earned their master’s degrees. Extremely strong parental involvement is one of the cornerstones of our success. Numerous opportunities abound for volunteering. Parents serve our school by volunteering in classrooms, the Media Center, the Health Room and other areas of need. Our parents logged more than 4,000 volunteer hours last school year. Our PTO provides funding for classroom materials, technology, teacher supplies, scholarships for student field trips, uniforms and supplies for student activities. Our PTO has also established partnerships with various business that include but are not limited to Chik-Fil-A, McDonald’s, Jim and Nick’s, Target, Salsaritas, Harris Teeter, and Wells Fargo. They provide gifts for school-sponsored events and family spirit nights where Winget Park earns a percentage of total sales.

Our school’s success depends on the strong relationships we have with our students, faculty and staff, parents and our community. We look forward to another successful and rewarding year!

Outcome (1): Increase parent involvement and volunteerism in our school as evidenced by the amount of our registered volunteers, and the number of hours logged in classrooms working with teachers and students. Our goal is to have our volunteers log and complete over 4,500 hours of service, exceeding 4,000 hours last year. We will also work to raise funds and promote community collaboration through community service, outreach projects, and corporate sponsorships.

Outcome (3): Step up fundraising efforts to increase the amount of instructional materials and technology for use in our classrooms. Our goal is to raise at least $500 for every classroom ($24,000). This can be measured by the amount of funds raised during our capital campaign and in our final PTO and school fundraising reports. This can also be measured by the capital improvements made for our school through enhanced technology and literacy resources.

Outcome (4): Enhance parent and teacher communications with the implementation of teacher websites, wikis, podcasting, videos and email. We will provide world class customer service for our students and parents. Our team will support the instructional staff so that 100% of teachers have their own functioning and helpful website, and so that 100% of our parents believe that communication is excellent from the school and the teachers. We can measure this through our parent survey results.
