Welcome to Whitefoord Elementary School’s website. I am pleased to be the principal of a school with such a rich history of academic performance, parental participation, and community involvement. The staff is committed to providing a quality education to all students in a safe, nurturing environment. We are proud to say that we made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) in Reading, Language Arts, and Mathematics.

Whitefoord is implementing a Comprehensive School Reform – Modern Red Schoolhouse (MRSH). MRSH is a standards-driven curriculum based on Georgia’s Quality Core Curriculum. Teachers are involved in hours of staff development to learn the most effective strategies to work with students. Parent and community involvement is also encouraged to support teachers and students in reaching high academic standards.

Consistency Management and Cooperative Discipline (CMCD) is also being implemented. CMCD has had a tremendous effect on our school’s overall discipline and management. Our students are well trained, take on management roles and exhibit a high level of responsibity. These are only a few of the exciting programs that we have a Whitefoord.

We encourage parents to volunteer at the school. You can help teachers with many activities. Stop by or call the school and let us know when you are available to volunteer. One of our goals is to increase the number of parent volunteer hours.

Please contact me if you have any questions about our wonderful school.

Mrs. Patricia LaVant, Principal
