Key Elementary School is to promote strong academic and personal achievement by uniting with parents and the community in providing opportunities for students to become responsible, productive members of society.
All students can learn, achieve, and succeed.
A safe, comfortable physical environment promotes learning. Parents, teachers, administrators, students and the community share the responsibility of promoting academic achievement, appropriate behavior and respect for others and self. An appreciation for cultural diversity, individuality and artistic and creative expression fosters respect. Each student should be valued as an individual with unique intellectual, social, physical, emotional and cultural needs. Instructional practices should incorporate appropriate learning activities, innovative teaching strategies and meaningful technology.
