Did You Know.......
- Walton High School Foundation, Inc. was established in 1992 and is a 501(c) (3) tax-exempt, non-profit organization whose primary purpose is to raise and dedicate funds exclusively for the enrichment, enhancement, and preparation of students at Walton High School.
- Our fiscal year runs from July 1 - June 30. All funds collected from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015 for the Class Size Reduction Campaign were used to retain 3 part-time teachers for the 2015-16 school year.
- Our two campaigns for this school year are "Say 'YES!' To An iPad In Every Classroom" and "Say 'YES!' To Smaller Class Sizes". The funds collected for the iPad campaign will be used to immediately purchase iPads for each classroom teacher to assist with instruction and provide interactive engagement to enhance the learning environment. The funds collected for the Smaller Class Sizes will be used to hire as many part-time teachers as possible for the 2016-17 school year.
- Our mission and goals for the year are available on our website. Please click here for more information.

How The iPads will be used in the classroom
Principal McNeill was able to secure 60 iPads over the summer for the World Language and Science Departments, as well as half of the Social Studies and Mathematics Departments. Because of your generosity, all remaining teachers in the Social Studies and Mathematics departments will now receive an iPad within the next week.
We still need your support to purchase another 60 iPads for the teachers in the English, Fine Arts, Special Education and PE departments.
The teachers (who have already received and been trained on their iPads) are excited to demonstrate some of these apps during Open House on August 19th.
Some of the apps the teachers will be utilizing this fall include:
Schoology; Vcell; Evolution; Elements 4D;
CDC Solve Outbreak; GeoGebra; Euclidea: Sketch Explorer.
If you want to view more apps our teachers
will be using by department/subject, please follow this link.
And, check back often because more apps are being added regularly as the teachers are trained and working with their iPads in the classrooms.
For every iPad purchased, another 132 students will benefit from the interactive applications which successfully reinforce classroom instruction.
We need EVERY Walton family to "Say 'YES' To An iPad In Every Classroom" at Walton with a $30.00 donation! That's all it takes to bring interactive education to every student at Walton - just $30.00. Please click here to "Give Our Students A Strong Foundation."
