Welcome to JFK Elementary.

JFK will support the WSD ends statement by being a proactive, calm and nurturing space that values the wellness of students and staff 
It is our collective responsibility to dig into the persistent conditions of inequity and oppression that impact experiences and relationships in our schools and community. 
We will hold ourselves accountable through ongoing reflection and action using an equity lens.
We will regularly review and implement the resources needed to build a social justice school system that supports the well being and success of students, families, colleagues, and broader community members – especially those who are Black, Brown, Indigenous, and People of Color. 
It is our belief that by fostering whole student well being, our student’s academic successes will empower them to achieve WSD’s graduation expectations.

 

Our Mission

All Students will graduate from the Winooski School District (WSD) college and career ready at a cost supported by the majority of the Winooski Community. WSD students will lead healthy, productive and successful lives and engage with their local and global community.

Winooski is a former mill town of approximately 7,300 residents adjacent to Burlington, Vermont’s largest city. The greater Burlington area is home to about 300,000, close to half the population of the state. Winooski has the highest population density of any city or town in Vermont. The community of Winooski has a long history of welcoming new Americans, including, in more recent years, families from many countries through the International Refugee Resettlement Program. There are over 30 different languages spoken by our residents. JFK Elementary School reflects and celebrates the diversity of backgrounds and experiences of our students and families.
