The classrooms are quiet and the halls are too — it’s so lonely here without our students. We can’t wait to see your smiling faces back soon!

Curious what our students do over summer break? They showed up and impressed visiting stakeholders at the Innovation Campus by demonstrating Spheros! A huge shout-out to Mrs. Stewart and Mrs. Edwards for making it all come together so quickly — and to our students who absolutely rocked it. We’re so proud of the amazing work happening in the Martin Innovative Elementary Program!





Want to see creativity + teamwork in action? Day 2 at Martin Innovative Elementary camp had students working in teams to travel from one side of an island to the other without stepping in the water. It was amazing to watch their imaginations, problem-solving, and collaboration come to life in a fun, hands-on challenge!

What a week! 🎉 WPS staff enjoyed their very own Underground Spirit Week to celebrate the last week of school. We’ve had such a wonderful year loving on your children — thank you for trusting us! ❤️ Wishing all our students and families a safe, fun, and relaxing summer vacation





Sweet smiles, big milestones! 🍦✨ This week our Kindergarteners celebrated all they accomplished this year with an ice cream party — hugs, laughter, and lots of sprinkles included! 🎉📚 Watching them enjoy the moment reminded us how far they’ve come.

What a special morning at Martin Innovative Elementary! Our very first 5th grade class left a lasting legacy — a spirit rock adorned with handprints from each MIEP class to celebrate their achievement. 👋💖 We are so proud of our 5th graders for a job well done and can’t wait to watch them shine at Martin Innovative Middle (MIMS)! 🌟 Good luck — you’ll do great! 🎒✨




Did you know there's an easy—and exciting—way to inflate a balloon using baking soda and vinegar? 🧪🎈 Mrs. Long's 2nd graders explored this simple chemistry demo earlier this week and had a blast watching the reaction puff up balloons!





What a morning at WPS! 🌞 We celebrated the accomplishments of our Kindergarteners with a heartwarming program — huge thanks to our dedicated teachers and Mr. P for the wonderful musical selections. 🎶👏 Congratulations to all our little graduates — you made us proud!


Ready for summer! ☀️ Mrs. Long’s 2nd graders celebrated the end of the school year by making s’mores together — smiles, sticky fingers, and great memories all around. "We made it through the school year—we're S'more than ready for summer!"









Wow — huge congratulations to Mrs. Wilder’s Kindergarten class! 🎉 They completed 120 Reading Horizons lessons this school year — what an amazing accomplishment!
