I am the luckiest person in Weatherford ISD. I am blessed to serve as the Lead Learner at Curtis Elementary. Every day I am amazed at the learning taking place at Curtis Elementary. Our Curtis teachers are the best. They work to provide meaningful, rich experiences for students each day. Students are approaching learning in different ways at Curtis.
There are so many exciting things happening at Curtis Elementary! We strive to learn and grow with our students, staff, community partners and parents! We take pride in our partnerships with the Weatherford community, volunteers, and our parents.
School is out on September 15th and September 18th

School Hours
Over the summer we had some renovations at Curtis! We now have a secure entrance! I am so glad that WISD and the Weatherford community have worked together to make our school safe for students, teachers, parents, and our community.
The first bell will ring at 7:40, and the tardy bell will ring at 7:50. Please, set your alarm clocks so that we can get ready to learn a few minutes earlier!
We also have some new processes regarding our secure entrances this year. We will communicate these processes to all you in just a few weeks!
