Shirley and Bill Wallin Elementary School

About Wallin Elementary

Wallin is a neighborhood CCSD campus serving grades PK–5. The district directory lists K–5, while the school’s live information also identifies AM and PM Early Childhood sessions.

School life centers on literacy, math, science, and social studies. PE, art, music, and library or media are common CCSD elementary offerings, but families should confirm the current schedule.

The school uses Wildcats spirit and a “Four Houses, One Family” house system. Clubs, elementary activities, intramurals, and after-school care may be available, but offerings can change.

How families get in

Wallin is assigned by home address. Families should verify the exact address in the CCSD zoning lookup before enrolling or making a housing decision.

• Use the CCSD zoning lookup to confirm that the home address is assigned to Wallin.
• Register through standard CCSD enrollment for the assigned zoned school.
• Out-of-zone admission, if offered, follows current School Choice rules and depends on campus capacity.
• Pre-K is not assigned through kindergarten registration. Families complete the CCSD Pre-K interest process, and a seat at the zoned school is offered only when available.

Re-check zoning and enrollment rules on official CCSD pages. Program availability and capacity can shift.

Who it tends to fit

Fit depends on the individual student and current campus conditions. Tour the school and confirm zoning, capacity, staffing, and programs before deciding.
