Vision Statement The vision of Glen Flora Elementary is to empower our students to be productive global citizens.

We celebrate the diversity of our school and we continue to focus on creating a learning community at Webster. We are beginning our transition at Smith Middle School toward becoming a true learning community over the next few years by embracing the basic tenets of middle school philosophy with our focus on providing our young people with an interesting, encouraging and caring environment that supports the highest level of student academic achievement. Our school mission and vision guides work and planning at Edith Smith Middle School.

At Smith Middle School, we have a highly qualified staff that is currently utilizing "best practices' as the core of all our instructional and curricular decisions. We offer students encore classes that include band, orchestra, choir, general music, and technology at each grade level in addition to the traditional curriculum.  

We are proud of our accomplishments and student diversity. Our mission is to be a place where children enter as they are and exit as well-rounded educated students armed with the knowledge, beliefs and skills necessary to conquer the world. Our curriculum supports the goals set forth by the Illinois State Board of Education. In addition, we supports the District's vision that all students acquire the skills and abilities needed to be successful, including a mastery of content areas, growth mindset, self-knowledge, creativity, wellness, interpersonal skills, confidence, cultural competence, and community connection. Collectively our staff works toward fulfilling the WPS60 District vision of ensuring that every school is a thriving school, preparing all students for college, career and community. 

It is our belief that all children have the potential to learn and develop into productive citizens. We believe our school should strive to accommodate the differences inherent in each child and that a child's education should be a positive experience in a safe environment conducive to learning.

We can help you find a job and build a career!
