Mission & Statement of Beliefs

STATEMENT OF BELIEFS

 

We believe:

The goal of our educational programs is to prepare students to become contributing members of society. Each student is a valued individual with unique physical, social, emotional, and intellectual needs. A safe and supportive learning environment promotes student achievement. The allocation of our resources is in alignment with our mission and goals which helps to maximize the opportunity for students to learn and experience success in school. Effective collaboration and communication with families as partners in the education of their children is essential to the success of our school system. Students need to not only develop a deep understanding of essential knowledge and skills, but also develop the capacity to apply their learning, to reason, solve problems, and produce quality work. The success of our school system depends on the commitment of all staff to high quality standards, expectations, and performances. The development of the curriculum, design of instructional activities, and the use of assessment measures are focused on providing learning opportunities and feedback systems to enable students to achieve success. Professional development is an integral part of our ongoing plan for continuous improvement. The commitment to continuous improvement is expected of all stakeholders of the school system to achieve the goal of enabling all students to realize their potential in a rapidly changing, diverse, and global society.
