Waterford Street School (Pre K-1)
Waterford Street School will be a first experience with school for many of our Gardner students and their families. We aim for that to be a positive experience for all; one that fosters a life-long love of learning in children, while encouraging parents to be involved in their student's education through high school graduation and beyond.

Hello Waterford Street School Families!
At Waterford, we are committed to being a place where all community members are enthusiastic, kind, cooperative, and resourceful lifelong achievers. We strive to accomplish this by:
Learning and practicing what it means to be a safe, respectful, and responsible Waterford Street School citizen - these three words make up our school mantra. We teach and live these values daily.
Providing a rigorous, enriching, and enjoyable academic experience. We want your child to come home every day with knowledge to share, skills to demonstrate, and a smile on their face!
Fostering positive relationships between the staff, students, and their families.
Infusing your child with a sense of belonging and pride in their school. Go Waterford Wildcats!
Incorporating every child’s family as part of the school community. My door is always open and I welcome questions, concerns, and ideas parents and other members of the community would like to share. I also hope to see you at the many events we’ll have throughout the year celebrating the great work our teachers and students are doing.
We look forward to a great school year!
Sincerely,
Earl Martin
Waterford Street School Principal
