“Growing within...going beyond.” -- as taken from Wilson’s Vison

E Komo Mai. Welcome to Mayor John H. Wilson Elementary School where children come from all over the island “to ride the learning wave.” At Wilson School we recognize the importance of a child’s early years of schooling, and with the help of our parents, relatives, staff, and friends, we strive to establish positive attitudes, good habits, and a firm educational foundation within a safe and nurturing environment. Our fundamental philosophy is the developemnt of the whole child intellectually, physically, emotionally, socially and aesthetically. Thank you for joining our efforts to realize our vision of a world full of children “growing within” and “going beyond” every day in every way. Very nearly every study in pedagogical research indicate that amoung the single most important predictors of a child’s success and achievement in education is parental involvement. Please commit to helping us help your child by resolving to be a more positive and active member of our Wilson School Ohana.

The DOLPHIN WEBSITE provides a brief glimpse of our school which families, friends, and other members of our school and community should find helpful as a guide to school policies, procedures, and personnel. We envision this website to become, along with our DOLPHIN HANDBOOK, semi-monthly PARENT BULLETINS, and weekly THURSDAY ENVELOPES, a primary source of information about current school matters. We are a community school We value your input and your involvement. Please do not hesitate to contact the school with any questions, suggestions, or concerns. Thank you for visiting us.
