Vision

Our School is a dynamic learning Community consisting of children, staff and families.

 

Students

Students in our learning community are held to the highest expectations.  Each child arrives

to class on time, prepared and motivated to work.  Individual children strive toward a 

personal standard of excellence.  Students recognize their vital role in the learning process, 

set goals, and take responsibility for their own success.

 

Staff

Staff are knowledgeable about current educational practices, are committed to and are 

excited about their jobs.  Staff utilize these practices in their daily instruction.  Collaboration

is evident through team meetings and planning sessions where each member contributes to

the overall team.  Our staff understands the impact they have on student learning and

strives to meet the individual needs of each child.

 

Families

Families place a high value on education by speaking positively about school and staff with 

their children.  To ensure that all children learn, adults provide a safe and caring

environment.  Parents foster their children's growth and learning by giving them the 

opportunity to take responsibility at home to do homework, read, or study on a daily basis.
