A message for the families coming to Winding Waters K-8:
It is with great pride and excitement that I welcome you to our new school. I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to be your building principal as we set out to create the best learning environment available in our district.
Our school has been designed to provide the students with a technology rich learning environment. Every classroom will be outfitted with the latest instructional technology tools allowing students to be actively engaged in their own learning. More importantly, our school is staffed with teachers who are dedicated to delivering a rigorous curriculum infusing the use of this technology to make the learning process meaningful for all students.
I look forward to working with you as we build our school culture of high expectations. Together, with your support, our school will become a leader in the district in providing quality education. I am sure you agree - our students deserve no less.
Sincerely,
Dave Dannemiller, Principal
