Winget Park Profile

Winget Park Elementary School opened in 2006. We are located in the Southwestern most corner of Mecklenburg County. We are fortunate enough to work with approximately 450 talented children each day. We serve a diverse population of students with the following demographical breakdown: 38 % White, 31% AfricanAmerican, 20 % Hispanic, 6 % Asian. Our students participate in numerous cocurricular activities that are engaging and often community service oriented. This includes weekly, during the school day, student interest clubs. We focus on positive recognition programs for our students including Wolf Dens celebrations, Green Tickets, Wolf of the Day and Character Education recognition. Winget Park has an extremely talented and dedicated staff. We have 22 classroom teachers, 3 PreK teachers, 4 special area teachers, 15 instructional assistants, 2 EC teacher, ½ TD teacher, 1/2 ESL Teacher, 1 Guidance Counselor, 2 secretaries, 4 custodians, 5 cafeteria workers, and 2 administrators. Our Before and After School Enrichment Programs are operated by a director and five staff members. We have a strong sense of community involvement. Community partners include Judah Church, Jackson Orthodontics, Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church, Sweet Frogs, Steele Creek YMCA and Leadership Martial Arts. Strong parental involvement is one of the cornerstones of our success. Numerous opportunities abound for volunteering. Parents serve our school by volunteering in classrooms, the Media Center, the Health Room and serving on the SLT and PTO. Our PTO provides funding for classroom materials, technology, teacher supplies, scholarships for student field trips, uniforms and supplies for student activities. Our PTO has also established partnerships with various business that include but are not limited to SAS Cupcakes, ChikFilA, Buffalo Wild Wings, Jim and Nick’s, Target, Fuel Pizza, Harris Teeter, and Wells Fargo.
