Walter School Readiness

Welcome to Esther L. Walter’s web site. Walter School was built in 1959. The school was named for Ms. Walter, a teacher in the Magnolia School District for more than 25 years. The school sits on an 8.97 acre parcel, and was the ninth and final school built in the Magnolia School District. We currently have 650 students in kindergarten through sixth grades. Many of our students speak languages other than English as their primary language. We provide daily English Language Development Instruction to support students that are acquiring English. A highly qualified staff of bilingual instructional assistants support students each day in their primary language as the students also master the core subjects in English. Our teaching staff and office staff also represent different languages and cultures. Nine of our teachers are bilingual and speak Vietnamese or Spanish as well as English. Our office staff is bilingual in Spanish and English. Our custodians are bilingual as well as our parent and Preschool coordinator. It is our intent to have school employees that can communicate with our families.
