The mission of Mattie Lively Elementary School is to provide a positive teaching and learning environment which implements a total curriculum that meets the intellectual, physical, emotional, and social needs of each student.
All students are capable of learning.
A safe, comfortable physical environment facilitates learning. Students learn best when parents, school personnel, and community members work together to meet students' physical, emotional, intellectual, and social needs. Mutual respect and dignity must be the basis of all interaction between students, school personnel, and parents in order to enhance students' self-esteem and academic development. Each student possesses a unique learning style. Exceptional students require specialized instruction, services, and resources.
