It's a Great Day to Be at Weyanoke!

10 Reasons Why We Stands Out

Weyanoke Elementary School is a vibrant community dedicated to fostering personal growth, respect, and a love of learning in every student. We strive to create a supportive environment where students are empowered to reach their highest potential and develop the skills they need to succeed. Beyond the classroom, Weyanoke provides opportunities for holistic development through engaging after-school programs, including academic enrichment, arts, and cultural clubs, that encourage curiosity and build confidence. 

Academic Growth

Weyanoke Elementary is proud of its rising Math SOL results, with a 4-percentage-point increase in proficiency from 2021 to 2024. This growth reflects our commitment to high-quality instruction and the dedication of our students and staff. We continue to set ambitious academic goals to ensure every student achieves success.

After-School Opportunities

Our school offers a variety of after-school tutoring, mentoring, and enrichment programs to support student success. In addition, our PTA sponsors even more activities, ensuring every student has opportunities to explore their interests and develop new skills. These programs help foster a sense of belonging while building confidence and life-long passions. 

Student News Team

Our WWEY Student News Team will attend a workshop at Sprague in November to learn how professional TV studios operate. This hands-on experience inspires students to explore careers in media and communications while enhancing their collaboration and technology skills. Their reports bring the school community together by sharing important updates and celebrating achievements.

Family Engagement Events

Weyanoke Elementary fosters strong family connections through events like Family Market Night, Family Learning Night, andHeritage Festival. These gatherings celebrate our diverse community while promoting collaboration and learning for all. By encouraging families to participate, we create a welcoming and inclusive environment that strengthens the home-school partnership. 

PTA-Sponsored Activities

Our PTA plays an active role in enhancing student experiences by sponsoring events like the science showcase and spelling bee. These activities inspire curiosity, creativity, and a love for learning. The PTA’s efforts ensure every child has access to enriching opportunities that extend beyond the classroom.

Woodchuck Week Celebration

At Weyanoke, we celebrate “Woodchuck Week” instead of Groundhog Day, an event that has garnered media attention in the past. This unique tradition highlights our school spirit and sense of community. It’s a week filled with fun, learning, and creativity that brings smiles to everyone at Weyanoke.

Diverse Community

With a richly diverse student body, Weyanoke Elementary celebrates the international perspectives and cultural richness that make our school unique. Our students and staff embody a global spirit that enhances every aspect of our learning environment. This diversity fosters cultural understanding and prepares our students to thrive in an interconnected world.

Learning Resources

Students at Weyanoke benefit from a wide range of web resources, including a library of educational video games. These tools provide fun and engaging ways to enhance learning both at school and at home. We continually explore new resources to meet the needs of our 21st-century learners.

Technology in the Classroom

Technology plays a vital role in instruction at Weyanoke, allowing teachers to create dynamic, interactive lessons. Students gain essential digital skills that prepare them for future success. From coding to multimedia presentations, students are learning to harness technology in innovative ways.

WISE Club Recognition

Our Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) Club earned media recognition in 2022, with coverage from Fox 5 and WTOP. This acknowledgment highlights the club's efforts to empower young women to explore STEM fields and build confidence in their abilities. The club continues to inspire a new generation of leaders and innovators in STEM. 

Weyanoke is more than a school—it's a community that prepares our students for the challenges and opportunities of the future.
