WELCOME TO WAYNE THOMAS
Wayne Thomas Elementary School serves students in grades K-5 and is currently undergoing a major renovation designed to support the next generation of learning. While construction is underway, students and staff are temporarily based at Elm Place, where the focus remains on strong academics, meaningful relationships and a supportive school community as Wayne Thomas prepares for its return to a fully renovated building.
