"Learning and Growing Together"

Vision

Beliefs

We believe student learning is the shared responsibility of parents, students, educators, and community members.

We believe student knowledge, skills, relationships, and responsibility are fostered positively in a safe, orderly, respectful environment at home and school.

We believe students need acceptance, a sense of belonging, and structure where everyone's feelings and differences are valued and respected.

We believe practicing effective listening, decision-making, and communication skills enables educators, parents, and students to function as a cohesive team.

We believe that students possess diverse learning styles that should be advanced with a variety of instructional approaches, motivating students to achieve academic excellence.

We believe the curriculum must be age appropriate, relevant to the needs of the 21st century, and appealing to curious minds . . . stimulating students to go beyond minimum requirements.

We believe students should be aware of school-to-career opportunities, making responsible choices to reach personal goals.
