Our Beliefs
All students can learn.
Each student is unique, with his or her own learning styles,
talents, and abilities, and each should be challenged to express
these creative abilities.
A top priority of our school is to
provide a safe and nurturing environment that focuses on the
intellectual, physical, and emotional needs of learners.
Education is the joint
responsibility of the school, the home, and the community.
The community, staff, and home
should be role models of respect and responsibility.
It is essential that the community
be involved in the decision-making process for student success.
Education should prepare students
to live and succeed in an ever-changing world.
Using a variety of instructional
strategies is paramount in meeting the needs of a diverse student
population.
Each student should demonstrate proficiency in the core curriculum
area through a variety of assessments.
Reading is absolutely essential to
academic success.
Students must be able to apply
knowledge across curriculum areas.
Clear goals and challenging
expectations provide consistency throughout a student's learning
experience.
