From the Desk of Susan Astone, Principal

 

It is with great pleasure that I introduce you to Francis Wyman School.  The students, teachers, staff, and families all work together to maintain a warm and supportive learning environment. The school is comprised of approximately 590 students in grades kindergarten through five.  The student population includes students who participate in the Transitional Class, the Language-Based Programs, and the LABBB Collaborative special needs programs.  Additionally, the Burlington Afterschool Program and the YMCA Afterschool Program are both housed here. Our school is committed to providing a nurturing and accepting atmosphere to support the diverse needs of our students.  This commitment is reflected in the Mission Statement, Vision Statement and Values.
