Welcome to Georgetown Elementary School.  It is the commitment of the faculty and staff to aggressively teach, empower, and motivate students by providing a nurturing learning environment through varied learning experiences, by instilling respect for self, others, school, and community, by communicating high expectations, and by encouraging students to become lifelong learners.  We believe that all students are capable of learning and that our students are responsible for their learning in a curriculum that is integrated and developmentally appropriate.  Our staff is sensitive to the needs of those we serve.  Therefore, we are committed to all aspects of the school program.
