Welcome to Wallin Oaks!
I am thrilled to begin my second year as principal of Wallin Oaks Elementary School, and I couldn’t be prouder to be a Wallin Oaks K9! Our school is a vibrant, welcoming community where students are known, supported, and challenged each day—and I feel incredibly fortunate to lead such an inspiring team.
At Wallin Oaks, we believe in creating an environment where every child can succeed, both academically and socially. Our dedicated staff works in Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) to analyze data, share best practices, and ensure we are meeting the needs of all learners. Through innovative instruction and a shared commitment to continuous growth, we provide meaningful learning experiences that help students thrive.
A cornerstone of our school culture is our Wallin Oaks PRIDE:
P – Personal Accountability
R – Respect
I – Integrity
D – Determination
E – High Expectations
These core values are woven into everything we do—from classroom instruction to hallway interactions—and guide our students in becoming not just strong learners, but thoughtful, responsible members of our community.
We are also deeply committed to fostering an inclusive environment where all students feel a strong sense of belonging. We know that when students feel safe, valued, and empowered, they are able to reach their full potential.
Whether you're new to Wallin Oaks or returning for another exciting year, thank you for being a part of our school family. I look forward to working together to make this a joyful, successful year for all.
Children First,
Marie Zlotnikov, Ed.S
Principal, Wallin Oaks Elementary School
