Our Mission

From the Principal’s desk

Dear Parents, Students, and Community Members,

Welcome to Dr. Joseph A. Whelan Elementary, where we are committing to fostering a nurturing and engaging learning environment for all our students. As the principal, I am honored to lead a dedicated team of educators and staff who are passionate about helping every child succeed.

At Whelan, we believe in the potential of every student and strive to provide an inclusive and supportive atmosphere that encourages academic excellence, creativity, growth mindset, kindness, empathy, and teamwork. Our curriculum is designed to meet the diverse needs of our learners.

We value the strong partnership between home and school, and we encourage parents and guardians to be actively involved in their child’s educational experiences. Together, we can create a positive and inspiring learning community where every child feels valued and empowered to reach their fullest potential.

Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education. We look forward to a successful and exciting partnership!

Warm regards,

Amanda Donovan, Principal
