which means students achieving their highest potential, inspired by teachers who are making a difference, encouraged by parents who are providing support, and empowered to action by a community working together to ensure that every child realizes his/her dreams.

We believe that:

- Students are our first priority.

- All students can learn given proper resources, encouragement, and time.

- Learning must be at the core of our daily lives to prepare us for citizenship in the 21st Century.

- Learning is life long for all members of our community.

- Students learn in different ways and, therefore, must be provided with opportunities that meet their individual needs.

- The ever changing needs of students require that professional development must be ongoing, based on research, aligned with district goals, and embedded in our daily work.

- The actions of the members of our learning community must provide students with effective models of citizenship, thereby fostering students who are responsible, accountable, and respectful.

- A safe and caring learning environment is critical for the success of our students.

- Collaboration with and among students, staff, parents, and community is essential for continuous improvement

- School pride in academics and all other activities should be shared with and among students, staff, parents, and community.
