Humphrey & Winsted Elementary
With two elementary schools to serve our three communities, we set out to establish a solid foundation of core academic instruction. Keeping class sizes low and supplementing with support staff including paraprofessionals, social workers, SLPs and SLPAs, both Humphrey and Winsted Elementary have created a positive, enriching experience for all our students and families.
Much of what we do as elementary schools is established through strong connections made between staff and students. Our staff members really get to know each and every child, and through the use of Nurtured Heart Approach, we make sure that there are adults who look out for the needs of everyone.
Our schools were remodeled and additions were made to both facilities in 2007. Our student population at both schools continues to grow not only in numbers, but in excitement about all the possibilities our schools make into a reality.
Honorees of the United States Department of Education’s National Blue Ribbon (Humphrey 2012 & Winsted 2013), and recent recipients of MESPA’s School of Excellence Award, our elementary schools are top notch!
Please check out our employment opportunities and consider contacting us to see what it takes to be a part of our great school.
