The Williams School Norfolk

We can't wait to see you next week!

⭐️ Save the date! ⭐️

Summer office hours and preschool summer session will resume Monday, July 13, 2026. See you then!

We hope everyone is enjoying summer so far! ☀️

Our Little Hoots have been making the most of the season with sunshine, laughter, and plenty of great art projects.

The Williams School -- including summer programs and The Williams Preschool -- will be closed tomorrow, Friday, June 19, 2026 in honor of Juneteenth.

Among all the things to celebrate at the end of a school year, a beautiful yearbook is at the top of our list.

A HUGE thank you to our yearbook class and sponsor (Mrs. Donahue) for sending us off with this memory of the 2025-26 school year. This morning, during our final Wednesday morning assembly, K-8 students joined faculty and staff to echange signatures and end-of-year messages. What a great way to begin the day.

Summer, here we come!

Our 7th graders wrapped up their World Geography unit on Conflict and Diplomacy with the Convene the Council simulation from iCivics.

Students stepped into the role of decision-makers, collaborating to navigate complex diplomatic situations, evaluate possible responses, and work toward peaceful solutions.

Throughout the year, our Kindergarten students have looked forward to ending each day with Mrs. Kittermans’s read-aloud of a Junie B. Jones adventure. As they reached the final pages of Junie B. Jones Is a Graduation Girl, the story sparked an important question: What’s the deal with caps and gowns?

Right on cue, a special guest arrived! Dr. Hedrick stopped by to share fun facts about graduation traditions and answer some awesome questions.

Congratulations to our Little Hoots who have earned an Elizabeth River Project Resilient River Star School award. We are proud of you!

This recognition celebrates The Williams Preschool's ongoing efforts to explore topics and projects related to sustainability and protecting our Earth.
