Principal’s Message

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year.

Walnut Street Elementary, having high expectations and accountability for all, is committed to a continuous learning ethic that promotes student achievement and prepares students to be career and college-ready.

We are excited to be working with our students, families, and community stakeholders. Walnut Elementary is a community of learners supported by a diverse group of staff members. Our goal is to provide a variety of educational services for students in kindergarten through sixth grade. In addition, we support the William Penn School District’s Emotional Support Program and Autistic Program, and have an established partnership with the Delaware County DCIU in supporting Pre-K learning.

We are guided by the William Penn School District’s Focus Forward Plan and our PBIS mantra R.O.A.R. (Respect Ourselves and Others, Overcome Obstacles, Act Responsibly, Remember and Demonstrate Self-Control).

Our theme this year is Baseball. Our school community will use the sport of baseball to make connections to learning. We encourage all of our families to stay engaged in their child’s education and to continuously support our school and district.

Students will meet success as we all work toward excellence together.

We look forward to a strong partnership with our school community.

Sincerely,
Joseph Williams
Principal
