The mission of Potrero Elementary is to help students to acquire knowledge, skills and positive attitudes toward themselves and others. Our students should be able to think creatively, continue learning a nd develop maximum potential for leading productive, fulfilling lives in a complex and changing democratic society.
We believe that:
Every student can learn.
Educators are responsible for structuring the learning environment.
Students must learn to be responsible for their own education and decisions.
Students learn best when their instruction is meaningful and they experience success in their environment.
Students learn best when educators and parents work cooperatively to support and enhance learning experiences.
