Students master academic skills, thinking skills, and social skills as a foundation for adapting and thriving in an ever-changing world. Students accept responsibility for their education and behavior, set short and long term goals, and are self-motivated. Teachers challenge students to achieve their full potential through effective teaching strategies and are accountable for each student's learning. Principals ensure an orderly climate, set high expectations for continuous improvement, and encourage and celebrate achievements of students and staff. All staff serve as caring, positive role models and work with students and parents to align activities at the school with goals of the district.
Parents send children to school prepared to learn.
Students and parents discuss and share information about school activities on a regular basis. Parents and community members support the schools and district by volunteering time, providing resources, asking questions, stating opinions and giving guidance. Schools serve as community learning centers. They are clean, well-equipped, and include current technology. Student-centered, disciplined, and safe schools are fun and foster an atmosphere of respect for individual differences.
