Among the staff a collegial atmosphere is fostered and supports respect for all staff members. We also model respect through our actions among ourselves and toward other. Finally, the environment at Grant School is a safe and secure place. A warm, friendly atmosphere awaits all who enter the school.
Physical safety is met by having clean and well-maintained facilities.
Safety is assured by having both preventative measures and emergency procedures in place. Our facilities are also free from any violence or threat of violence. Grant School has an emotionally safe atmosphere which encourages success and supports consistent effort through a smile, word of encouragement, or even a pat on the back. An emotionally safe atmosphere fosters risk-taking. Risks taken by faculty include using innovative teaching strategies and applying knowledge of how children learn.
