Welcome to James Walker Elementary School-home of the Warriors!
We are excited that you have chosen JWE and we are glad you have joined the Warrior family. I am honored to serve as principal of JWE and to be part of a culture steeped in rich traditions and academic excellence. JWE was just recognized as a 2019 Gold Star School by the Missouri Department of Secondary and Elementary Education this year! Greatness happens here and we are excited for another outstanding year.
I am sure you have noticed we have a couple new faces this fall. We would like to welcome Mr. Eric Neff, our new Assistant Principal. We also would like to welcome our part time Cross-Categorical Teacher-Ms. Julia Strout, our new Evaluations Process Coordinator-Melissa Starr, and our new School Resource Officer-Mr. Scott Ramsey. We are lucky to have these additions to an already fabulous JWE family.
We are gearing up for our Kindergarten Meet the Teacher/Curriculum Night on August 15th from 6-7 p.m. and 1st- 5th grade Open House/Curriculum Night on August 19th from 5:30 p.m.-7:00 p.m. Our first day of school begins on Wednesday, August 21st with school hours beginning at 9:05 a.m. and ending at 4:05 p.m.
JWE is big on communication and we cannot stress enough how important it is for parents to be involved with their child’s education. Although we have a new website, we will be updating it throughout the year. Please check our school’s webpage, teacher’s class page, subscribe to our weekly emails, and become a member of PTA to stay up to date on information for JWE. JWE also has a Twitter feed @JWEWarriors that sends out daily tweets about what is happening in our school.
If you ever have a question, comment, or concern please do not hesitate to contact us at 816-874-3660. Thank you for all of your help and support! I look forward to a wonderful school year at James Walker Elementary!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Casey Brownsberger
