Statement of Beliefs Students' learning needs should be the primary focus of all decisions impacting the work of the school. Students need to not only demonstrate their understanding of essential knowledge and skills, but need to be actively involved in solving problems and producing quality work. Students learn in different ways and should be provided with a variety of instructional approaches to support their learning. All students can learn when they have appropriate opportunities for success. Each student is a valued individual with unique physical, social, emotional, and intellectual needs, whose self-esteem is enhanced by positive relationships and mutual respect among students and staff.
Exceptional students require special services and resources.
Students learn to make appropriate decisions when provided a supportive and challenging learning environment. Teachers, administrators, parents, and community share the responsibility for working together to advance the school's mission and for providing a safe and comfortable environment that promotes student learning. The commitment to continuous improvement is imperative to enable students to become confident, self-directed, lifelong learners. Each classroom is a family of learners, in which individuality and cultural diversity is a vital part of learning from one another and in developing necessary social skills. Parental involvement plays an important role in a student's academic success and attitude toward school.
