Mission Statement

Built in 1929, the Waverly Avenue School is unique in many ways. It is the oldest building in the Sachem Central School District. It has grown over the years with the addition of several new wings and more recently new kindergarten rooms, main office, nurses' office and library. As its fields are the site of the Sachem Youth Soccer League games, hundreds of children enjoy our facilities each weekend during the fall season. Waverly, however, has not lost any of the charm and family spirit of that original, small school building. Our school community consists of children from kindergarten through fifth grade, a caring and professional faculty and staff, and an active, enthusiastic PTA. Our school motto is "Living in Harmony", and we are guided by the school principles of Responsibility, Respect, Cooperation, Pride, and Kindness. Waverly is the home of Randy Reader Program, which fosters a love of reading as a lifetime activity. Randy, a literate alligator and the school's mascot, visits each classroom, performs on the stage, and encourages children to read enthusiastically because "Reading is FUN"!! For many years now, the students of Waverly Avenue School have read over 100,000 books per year.We are very proud of our school, its history, its traditions, and the many fine opportunities for the social and educational growth it offers its students. We look forward to carrying those traditions into the future.
