Principal’s Message

Dear Wilder Penfield Families,

Our entire team is ready for another excellent school year packed with engaging lessons and amazing activities where your children will have the opportunity to learn and thrive.

The mission of Wilder Penfield Elementary is to provide an interactive, integrated environment, in which every student can develop a curiosity and love for learning. Together we will support all students in becoming competent, engaged, and successful citizens. Our exceptional teachers, support staff and professionals are once again ready and dedicated to support the growth and success of every one of our students this school year.

Our team works hard at promoting a community of kindness and respect. The teachers, daycare staff and support staff work as a team to ensure that students receive the best education possible. They instill a passion for learning by challenging and nurturing students academically, socially, and emotionally. We offer a high level of academics, a variety of extra-curricular sports, different clubs led by our teachers and staff, and our Mindset room supports our students with their emotional learning. Wilder Penfield offers a wide range of programs aimed at developing the whole student as they strive to reach their true potential.

Our new play structures installed in our kindergarten area allows for creative play, climbing, and enhancing their balancing skills. We are also excited to use our newly refurbished school yard during recess, lunch, and after-school in our daycare program. Thank you to the staff and volunteer parents who were part of the Playground Committee.

We are grateful to have fabulous parents that are involved and volunteer at our school through the Home & School Association. This parent-led group is an integral part of our community vision and supports the school and our students. They host numerous events each year including the Monster Mash, the Holiday Breakfast, the End-of-year BBQ, and staff appreciation week. Our H&S tirelessly fundraises each year which helps the purchasing of items for our students and teachers that enhances learning opportunities throughout each year.

I am thrilled to join the Wilder Penfield community and become a part of your school family. We look forward to having your family join our school and start sharing in the memories to come. On behalf of the entire school team, Welcome to Wilder!

Mr. Rabinovitch
Principal
