About Our School

 

 

 

Welcome To Enfield Street Elementary School!  Enfield Street School (ESS) is a great place to learn!  ESS’ principal, Sandra Ingalls, and her outstanding teaching staff will make you feel welcome!  You’ll see how the statement “A World of Learners” clearly defines what happens at Enfield Street School. 

ESS celebrates our children, their imagination, their positive choices and accomplishments, their progress.  Students are aware of the purpose of learning and are more confident.  Having ownership in their school and a heightened sense of community, students are better equipped with decision-making skills to meet the challenges of society.

·    The student body consists of about 375 students, on average, ranging from Preschool to Sixth Grade, including Special Education.

·    Our school logo is a cluster of gingko leaves (see title page) from the gingko tree. The gingko tree has been in existence for over 150 million years, survived an ice age and is the oldest living tree species, earning it the nickname “living fossil”. Found predominantly in the west where the climate is warm, the tree sprouts “flowers” during winter and in the spring these buds unfold into green leaves, each with a unique pattern. Through the summer the leaves continue to grow and turn a deep green until fall when they become gold. The leaf, therefore, represents characteristics like strength, adaptability, perseverance and vitality.  These characteristics are those to which we, teachers, parents, and student body alike, aspire at Enfield Street School.

·    School colors are maroon and gray. School spirit merchandise is available for purchase through the PTO.

·    A new school song, written and created by ESS students during the 2005-2006 school year, has replaced our previous school song.  Following tradition, this new arrangement will be sung at monthly assemblies and other important school events.  The lyrics are as follows:

black and white notes

Chorus

Learning and growing, that's what we're about.
Making good choices, lift your voice to shout!
That we are learning through the arts, each and every day.
Honoring our differences, all along the way…..

 

Verse 1

Living and learning,
we find where we belong.
Working together,
as friends, we sing this song
[chorus]

Verse 2

Monthly assemblies,
HOT G-team is alive!
We're safe and happy,
we think, create, and strive
[chorus]
