Our Mission
We believe that children are our highest priority. We promote a cooperative partnership among students, parents, community and staff. Our Mission is to build a strong foundation for lifelong learning by nurturing, guiding and challenging all students to achieve their maximum potential.
Our Mission in Kid Friendly Language
"My teachers know I am important! My friends, parents, community friends, and teachers work together to help me learn things that I will use all of my life. They help me do my very best! Together we can!"
Our Vision
Our goal is to prepare students intellectually, emotionally, socially and physically to be responsible citizens in an ever-changing world.
Our Vision in Kid Friendly Language
"I am using my mind, feelings, behavior, and body to be a responsible citizen in a world that is always changing."
Staff Development
The school system provides professional development training throughout the school year for the teachers. On Wednesdays, the children are dismissed early so that our faculty can participate in on-site staff development/training. Professional development training is based on needs generated by our continual school improvement process. Our focus is using formative and summative school data to identify areas for targeted improvement in student achievement. We are also using formative data to identify areas for targeted improvements in student’s 21st century skills.
