Wheatland J1 School District

WCS is located close to the cities of Lake Geneva, Burlington and Paddock Lake and about 20 miles west of Kenosha on Highway 50 in the town of Wheatland. The school provides elementary schooling for the town of Wheatland and parts of Randall, Salem and Brighton. Philosophy: We believe that the future will make great demands on the abilities of every person in our country. Meeting those demands will require a level of excellence greater than required in the past. The school shares the responsibility to achieve excellence by helping each student develop according to his/her unique talents and abilities. By continually striving to achieve the goals we have outlined, we assure that every student will have the opportunity to realize his/her potential and to achieve the level of excellence necessary to the future. We further believe that the quality of school is greatly determined by the quality of the total staff. With that in mind, the district seeks to attract well qualified personnel and support them with continuing opportunities for training, excellent facilities, current instructional materials and teaching aids, and competent pupil personnel support. Finally, we believe the educational program in an on-going process of evaluation and change, and that this process is the joint responsibility of the school staff, Board of Education, community and students. It is the Board's intent to constantly assess the individual and group progress of children according to a set of goals that focus on academic and intellectual growth, social and cultural growth, physical and emotional growth, and civic responsibilities.
