Vision

• Our vision is to become an exceptional 21st-century school community in which all students will achieve, and then exceed state standards. This will create informed, self-sufficient and productive citizens, educated decision makers, and responsible adults.

Mission

• We create in collaboration with parents, a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment that enables our students to learn to their fullest potential. This community of trust enables all to accept our individual differences and to promote an integrated curriculum where students take pride in the ownership of their learning, growth, and community.

Core Values and Beliefs

• Each child is important and has the right to a free, safe and appropriate education.  Our students are treated with respect and encouraged to respect others.  We believe that all students have the ability to learn.  With high expectations for achievement, each child can realize his or her full academic potential.
• Excellent teachers are vital for student success.  Learning takes place when the instruction is geared to meet student needs.  Our staff will engage in continuous professional growth and development.
• When positive home/school partnerships are formed, student achievement rises.  We believe that the acceptance of our increasingly diverse community provides students with the ability to understand and build friendships with those of other cultures.
