Students spend each day at Williams structured for success! Teaching is truly a team effort in that teachers work together to provide a positive and success-oriented atmosphere throughout the school. Students are heterogeneously- or ability-grouped depending on their needs. A variety of programs addresses specific student needs: gifted/talented classes, talent pool classes, special education services, and intensive reading classes. The reading program includes whole language, phonics, and novel sets. In mathematics, manipulatives are used with an emphasis on problem-solving strategies.

A twenty-five station computer lab enhances learning for every grade level. Each classroom has a computer station while grade five has four per room. The library has additional stations for student use and has a technology-based management system. Access to the internet is available in the library and some classrooms. Closed circuit television provides additional technological resources for the students. The school's learning resource specialist works closely with teachers to provide materials for classroom use that assist in achieving a well rounded instructional program.

Students are recognized for their accomplishments in the areas of citizenship, academics, attendance and involvement in school activities. Fifth grade students are elected by peers for the Student Council who then manage the student store. A reading program pairs different grade levels to share their love for reading. Special events involving students include the Science Fair, Spelling Bee, Author's Tea, and grade level programs.

A very dedicated and supportive PTO has provided support to students and staff. They also offer the financial support for instructional materials and activities. The annual Spring Festival, the PTO's major fund-raising activity, offers fun for the entire family. The active volunteers also assist in a variety of ways. Parents also may participate by serving on the Parent Advisory Committee or the Site Based Decision Making Team.
