Welcome to Pyrtle

Pyrtle Elementary School was named for Ruth Pyrtle.  Our doors opened to students in January of 1964. We have been educating students for over 43 years.  Our friendly neighborhood school, located in the Wedgewood Lake area in east Lincoln, currently serves 419 students in kindergarten through grade five.

Pyrtle Elementary School is committed to educational excellence for all students. The mission at Pyrtle Elementary School is to prepare all students to become independent learners with the necessary skills to succeed in a diverse and ever-changing world.

A Message from the Principal

Hello, I am Sandra Carrington-Robertson, principal at Pyrtle Elementary School.  All students and adults (classified, certified, and parents) are learners.  Pyrtle School encourages students and adults to take risks in learning and teaching.

Pyrtle has high standards and expectations for learning and teaching for students, teachers, and support staff.  Pyrtle School offers great respect for differences among people–teachers, support staff, parents, and especially students.

Pyrtle School is a place where collegiality is viewed and practiced.  Staff talk with one another about teaching practices, the craft of teaching, knowledge, and actively help colleagues become better.  Pyrtle School is a community of learners.

Sincerely,

Ms. C-R
