Welcome to the Eli Whitney Elementary School website.  We hope that you find this site to be an additional and important nexus between school and home.  We will strive to update our webpage as frequent as possible without compromising our first priority – providing the highest quality of education we can offer our students.

Our school is a Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 6 learning community where over 400 students and 50 faculty and staff strive to achieve excellence each and every day.   Our highly qualified, caring, and very dedicated teachers seek to find authentic learning opportunities that engage, empower, and educate our eager learners.  During the school year, the students of Eli Whitney are immersed in an enriching educational environment where learning occurs the moment they enter our building and even beyond the buzz of our school-ending bell.  We welcome you to join us in setting high expectations for all members of our great school, and invite you to become active participants in your child’s learning.

There will be many family activities over the course of the 2010-2011 academic year that we encourage you to be a part of.  Our Open House/Curriculum Night, family-oriented programming, concerts, and assemblies are just some of the many activities that are planned for this school year.  By taking the time to attend any or all of these functions, you can send a strong message to all Eli Whitney students just how important school is.  We thank you for considering this request, and we look forward to seeing you.

Enjoy the many links you will find on this website.  We will periodically update newletters, announcements, and pictures on this website throughout the school year so as to keep you informed of our Eli Whitney happenings.  Come back often!   

In partnership,

Timothy M. Van Tasel
