We Connect. We Create. And, we Celebrate!

These are the guiding value statements of C.W. McGraw Elementary School.  They represent our collective and collaborative aspiration to connect with students, families, our community, and each other.  We create experiences and seek new ways of thinking. And, we celebrate our growth.

Our students come first.  Each academic year we strive to provide greater opportunities for them to connect, create and celebrate.  We are proud to serve and offer an inclusive environment.  We are an AVID and Kids at Hope community.  Our Viking staff encourages, teaches and reinforces academic behaviors such as organization, study skills, communication, and self-advocacy. Our AVID scholars develop the academic habits they will need to be successful in middle school, high school, and onward in an age-appropriate and challenging way.

We believe that all students can be prepared to thrive in the world that awaits them.

The strong college-going culture in our school encourages ALL students to think about their college and career plans. You will notice college pennants and banners around our campus, and teachers speak about their higher level learning experiences. College and careers become common topics and teachers provide the academic foundation students need to be on a path for life-long learning success.

As Vikings, students engage in different learning opportunities using WICOR strategies, participate in physical education, music, art, library, and STEM experiences in an inclusive environment. As we embark on this year’s academic journey, there is a lot of important information and events on the horizon, from the Parent/Student Handbook to our ParentSquare.

We are so proud to be an AVID and Kids at Hope community, and are so inspired by how it is helping all of our students become successful, forward thinking learners!

We will continue to invest in our school and hope to see more students join our Viking family.

As the proud Principal of the C.W. McGraw Elementary School, I am dedicated to empower educators with the knowledge and tools to ensure every student learns at or above grade level, fostering a culture of collective responsibility and data-driven decision making, knowing that every student is capable of success, No Exceptions!  

Connect, create and celebrate will guide all the work we do. Together, we are Vikings! And remember, “At McGraw, Vikings SAIL!”

Welcome!
