A Note From the Principal - Don Iverson

Welcome to Wallace!

Wallace provides a quality learning environment with a caring staff and great parents. Wallace offers Head-Start through fifth grade classes. Our curriculum provides a solid educational program for the students. They receive instruction in reading, language arts, math, science, and social studies. The students also participate in art, music, physical education, media and guidance classes. We provide special educational services, speech services and a Talented and Gifted program for those who qualify. We have an elementary counselor that has weekly classroom guidance and also works with small groups and individual students. We have a school nurse full time in the building each day.

Wallace Elementary School is housed in a two-story building that was built in the 1930's. We have 20 classrooms and over 60 staff members. Wallace has an elevator, which makes it handicap accessible. The Wallace campus is centrally located within the community.  Over 90% of our students walk to school each day.

Wallace runs on an alternative calendar, also called Year Round Education.   Wallace starts mid-August and ends with the rest of the students in June. The students have classes for seven weeks and then have a week break. The students in this program have the option of taking classes for an additional 15 days during the breaks. These breaks are called inter-sessions. They may attend mornings only, afternoons only, all day, or not at all. They may attend for one or both weeks during these times. Everyone in the program has two common weeks of vacation. Breaks are scheduled to coincide with the traditional calendar whenever possible.

Wallace is working hard to develop a strong group of volunteers. If you would like to volunteer at our school please call 501-1650 and we will get you involved. If you would like more information about our school please feel free to call. You are welcome to visit Wallace Elementary and find out in person about the educational opportunities that are being provided for the students.
