Welcome to Dunwiddie Elementary School!
My name is Elyse Voskuil, and I am honored to be the interim principal of Dunwiddie Elementary School within the Port Washington-Saukville School District. The dedicated staff, students, and families that make up our school community of Dunwiddie Dolphins is truly what makes DES such a special place. Our knowledgeable and passionate staff is committed to providing the best educational experience possible for all students. We believe every student deserves equitable access to an education that will allow them to grow socially, emotionally, and academically. Teachers work hard to provide rigorous grade-level instruction and prioritize building relationships with students. These trusting relationships allow students to feel supported, willing to learn from their mistakes, and work through productive struggle. Dunwiddie Elementary teachers work closely with families to build a learning partnership so that children feel supported in their education at home as well.
A little about me - I was born in Port Washington and lived here until I was eight. At that age, I moved to Connecticut and several years later moved to Massachusetts. My passion for helping children led me to graduating from Providence College in Providence, Rhode Island with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary and Special Education. Upon graduating in 2013, I moved back to Port Washington and taught fourth grade at Dunwiddie Elementary School for one year and continued teaching fourth grade at Lincoln Elementary School. I earned my Masters degree in Educational Leadership in 2018. After eight years of teaching fourth grade, I transitioned into the role of a Math Specialist. In 2023, my professional career came full circle back to Dunwiddie Elementary School as I began my leadership journey as the interim principal. I am beyond thankful for the opportunity to continue to serve the community of Port Washington and look forward to the many great years ahead.
I have been married to my husband, Kyle, since 2018, and we have two children, Lennon and Parker. We enjoy going for walks, spending time with our family and friends, and supporting all the Wisconsin sports teams. Additionally, I Iove to run, read, and travel.
