In partnership with the Pinckney Learning Community, we will provide all students with a safe and nurturing environment, create opportunities for intellectual, emotional, social and physical growth and promote attitudes necessary for continued learning in a global society. We accept and commit ourselves to this responsibility.

We, the staff of the Navigator School, have the following beliefs:

Through interaction and participation within the Pinckney Learning Community, students will be successful.

A safe, nurturing, and orderly environment conducive to learning will be provided.

Mutual respect and open communication will be fostered among staff, students, and parents.
