Learning Environment

The Wyatt-Edison Charter School is committed to creating and maintaining a positive learning environment that encourages cooperation, fosters creativity, and nurtures students in taking the risks involved in learning. The learning environment is developed and adjusted over time with focus on providing all students with access to a world-class education. Parents and community members play an important role in supporting the learning environment by using common, respectful language that encourages and inspires students, as well as sets limits.

Our school has three main rules: Be Safe, Be Kind, and Be Responsible. We encourage you to discuss these with your child(ren) and model their use in your home.

The Wyatt-Edison Learning Environment is reflected in our school discipline policy.

Wyatt Edison Charter School is proud of the technology-rich learning environment that we provide for our children. It is part of our philosophy that students should be comfortable using computer technology as one method of communication and research. Computers are provided in each classroom, and there are two computer labs for classes to use on a weekly basis. We expect that students will learn to use a variety of software and the internet appropriately.

Special education is an integral part of our school. All teachers will be differentiating instruction for all types of learners in partnership with the Special Edison Support (SES) teachers. This partnership constitutes the fully inclusive design of our Edison school. Special Edison Support is conceived with special needs students in mind - but is not restricted to students with disabilities. High achievers can also benefit from quality educational practices that focus on differentiation. A wide range of educational services are available for students at our school. Lindsay Blew, the Special Education Coordinator, is available to answer any questions at (303) 292-5515 ext. 1111.

The Family and Student Support Team is available to create solutions for children who are struggling to keep up with the pace of their class. The team ensures all children are given the opportunity to be successful by developing individual plans to support each child's educational development. Classroom and student support teachers create individual and school wide plans, and provide linkages to a consortium of service providers. Students can be referred to the FASST team by teachers, administrators, staff members, or parents. For more information, please contact Natasha Nielsen at 303-292-5515, ext.1311.
