    Our wishes to everyone to stay safe and healthy through this unprecedented time.







    Reminder that if you hope to be a volunteer for any sports activity, winter sports, field trip or event then make sure you have completed the paperwork for background checks and have had your fingerprinting done.  If you have not gone through this process you will be unable to volunteer/chaperone.  You are not even allowed to transport just your child.  Please see Meg at the Central Office for the paperwork to start this process immediately if you are interested.  It takes approximately 8 weeks to get fingerprint results back.

Our historic school house is the oldest, continuously functioning school in Vermont.  In 1989, an addition was built, which added six classrooms, a multipurpose room with stage, library/media center and kitchen.  Our dedicated veteran teachers work collaboratively to create a vibrant school community.  Visit our classroom web pages to see the exciting work our students are doing!

Vision: The Townshend Elementary School learning environment is exciting because it both challenges and nurtures every student, while celebrating individuality, creativity and the concept of excellence.

Mission: Each student will experience the fulfillment of mastery in reading, writing and mathematics. Their educational experiences will make them believe in themselves as learners. Their ability to express themselves creatively will be nurtured through the arts. Their experiences at Townshend Elementary School will enhance their growth as a whole child.
