Stop. Drop. Enroll!
The City of Walker will host its first Safety Town program this summer, giving young residents the chance to learn practical safety skills through hands-on activities with local first responders.
Registration is now open, with space limited to 20 participants in the inaugural session.
Safety Town is designed for children between kindergarten and 3rd grade and introduces them to everyday safety topics such as pedestrian awareness, bike safety, fire prevention, and basic first aid. The program uses an interactive “mini city” environment where children practice real-world situations like crossing streets, recognizing traffic signs, and responding to emergencies.
The four half-day program is planned for June 22-25 at Zinser Elementary and will run in morning sessions from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., giving children repeated opportunities to practice safety skills while building confidence and independence. Learn more and register online.

Adventure Point Summer 2026 Day Camp

We provide more than just childcare — we deliver a true summer camp experience. Our campers spend their days exploring and creating lasting memories in a fun, safe, and engaging environment most visitors say “I never knew this existed”.
Our team of Professional Role Models and highly trained Camp Leaders bring years of resident camp expertise to every activity. We focus on helping campers grow in confidence, teamwork, and independence — all while having an amazing time outdoors.
You can expect a happy, tired camper full of stories at pick-up, and excitement each morning to return for another day of adventure! Learn more and register online.

New Raptor Visitor Management System
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing safe and secure learning environments, we are excited to announce the implementation of the Raptor Visitor Management System beginning this school year. This new system will replace our traditional paper sign-in process and provide a more effective way to monitor and track visitors, volunteers, and guests on campus.

When visiting our school, guests will check in at the front office by presenting a government-issued photo ID. The Raptor system will:

  • Instantly screen IDs against public sex offender databases.
  • Maintain an accurate and secure record of all campus visitors.
  • Print a visitor badge with the guest’s name, photo, and date for easy identification while on school grounds.

For those wishing to volunteer, please remember that a district background check is required annually in addition to the Raptor sign-in process. To begin this step, simply bring your photo ID to the front office.

We appreciate your support in helping us strengthen campus safety. With your partnership, we can ensure a safe learning environment for every student.

LEARNING

Our Personal Mastery educational experience has redefined education and has gained attention around the state and nation. Personal Mastery provides your child with personalized attention from teachers. Instead of teaching to a broad group of students without an understanding of their individual strengths and weaknesses, Personal Mastery allows teachers to interact with students individually or in small groups to help them better address their weaknesses. In this way, we strive to help your child reach their full potential.
