Whitestone Elementary School

Whitestone has been a fantastic school for my children. I have a son who is dyslexic. The school diagnosed him in the 1st grade.The fact that they were able to catch this so early and begin him in a program shows how fabulous and in tune the teachers and staff are to the needs of their student. He has been in a dyslexic program that is just amazing and is making tremendous progress. The principal knows the children by name and is warm and encouraging to the parents and teachers. I am really happy with this school.

It is a nuturing school that provides for children who need o be challenged as well as those that need additional help. No matter what the situation all children feel special and all needs are addressed in a professional and caring way.

I completed my student teaching semester at this wonderful school during the fall of 2008. My first grade bilingual (Spanish) cooperating teacher/mentor was exceptional. I participated in many 1st grade teacher team meetings and liked how they worked together in coordinating and organizing lessons. The teachers at every grade level take pride in this type of professional harmony. I was also particularly impressed by the assistant principal s active involvement in monitoring daily activities as well as conducting teacher evaluations. She is now the principal and commands a great educational environment. I would most definitely love to teach at this great school.

It has a very caring staff, dedicated to make kids learn, feel safe and happy.

As my son has only participated in the Ealry Learning Environment at Whitestone, I cannot speak for all grades and teachers. However, the ELE teacher at Whitestone is absolutely the best in Leander district! Thier early childhood program is amazing and has made a tremendous difference for my son. The speech, OT, and Physical Therapy staff are also fantastic.

I am thrilled with Whitestone. As a former educator, there are certainly teachers that I like more than others...as with all schools. The principal is amazing. She is welcoming and encourages both students and staff. The PTA is super involved and is accepting to whatever any volunteer is willing to give. The kids are safe and happy. There are many programs to support and enrich all abilities. It is a wonderful, down to earth environment. I'm so glad that I didn't let the school rating sway me from moving to this beautiful area in Leander. As it turns out Whitestone is Recognized this year. It's only a matter of time before we become exemplary!
