Welcome to Waters!

Welcome to the Waters Elementary web site, where you’ll find a wealth of information about all things related to Waters and the learning and enrichment experiences we offer students.

My goal as the Principal is to instill a lifelong love of learning in each child. We foster this at Waters through a melding of academics, hands-on learning opportunities both inside and outside the classroom and an integrated arts curriculum that exposes students to visual arts, drama, music, technology and ecology. Children learn in many different ways, and this integrated approach has a positive impact on our students’ learning. In addition, we continue to partner with several community organizations and enrichment groups to enhance the Waters experience, including the Shedd Aquarium, CAPE (Chicago Arts Partnership in Education), Mad Science, Global Explorers, and MSA & Circus Arts, among others.

I am very proud of Waters students and am grateful to work with such an extremely dedicated community of learners, parents and staff.

Together, we are continuing to make Waters a unique and inspiring place to learn.

Thank you again for visiting our site, and have a wonderful 2010-2011 school year!

Sincerely,
Titia Kipp
