There’s nothing like the energy of a new year—hallways buzzing, minds ready to grow, and hearts full of possibilities! 🧠✨ #ThinkingThursday: With the Instructional Core Wheel guiding the way, we’re here to develop the genius in every child. Let’s make this year one of critical thinking, collaboration, and inspired learning. #weareWINdsor 👐🏽 (📸 We ♥️ to see it POQ and OE!)
Happy Holidays to the Oliver Ellsworth Family.
Love, Principal Gruber

Our WPS cabinet members celebrated our incredible Central Office team at our annual holiday luncheon! 🎉🎄 Behind every successful school day are the dedicated departments and individuals who work tirelessly behind the scenes to keep our district running smoothly. From operations and HR to finance, PSES, food services, maintenance, technology, and curriculum support—you are the heartbeat that allows our leaders, teachers, and staff to focus on what matters most: our students and community. ❤️✨ #weareWINdsor
Last week the cultural spotlight was Habene from Ethiopia. He enriched us with Amharic alphabet sounds, words, and writing. 🇪🇹 #joyfullearningcommunity #weareWINdsor
Congratulations to these hard working huskies! Each of these students received our iready certificate for excellence in math! #joyfullearningcommunity #weareWINdsor 🥳🥇
Today teachers had to drink out of something that isn't a cup. Just for fun. Tomorrow is PJ day for adults AND students.
💡 #ThinkingThursday: At Oliver Ellsworth, even our youngest learners in Pre-K through 2nd grade are diving into thinking tasks that challenge and inspire! Teachers are giving students exciting options to process, create, and learn, all guided by our Instructional Core Wheel. The possibilities are endless! #weareWINdsor 👐🏽 📸: We ♥️ to see it OE!
Having faculty fun at OE this week. Yesterday's theme was Dress Like Your Work Bestie.
UPDATE: Due to the condition of the roads, all Windsor Public Schools will be closed today, December 5th. Tree House will open at 8:00 AM at John F. Kennedy School, and offices will open at 10:00 AM.
Ms. Illingsworth, MLL teacher, ensures all cultures are celebrated. Diversity is our strength!
Utilizing data to differentiate for each student is hard work. We love how individualized teaching and learning is at OE. Fostering critical thinking each and every day.
Mrs. Gonzalez, Ms. Draizen and Ms. Finnegan collaborated on a STEAM unit. Mrs.Gonzalez's students then taught Mrs. Verdone's students about various habitats.
OE's annual "Fall Fun" has begun! And Silly Sam has come to play!
He’s brought a friend to join the cheer,
For the best Fall Fun day of the year!
With games to play and crafts to make,
It’s a day of joy—let’s celebrate! 🎩🍂#joyfullearningcommunity #weareWINdsor
