Vision:
To be an educational exemplar, whose priority is to provide high quality instruction, increase student academic achievement, and develop our students holistically.
Mission:
To foster a love of learning in a caring, safe, and welcoming school, where the staff works collaboratively with the community to develop confident, responsible students who are well prepared for the future, to ensure that our students achieve their highest academic potential and are college and career ready.
Core Beliefs:
Our main purpose is to improve student academic achievement.
Effective instruction makes the most difference in student academic achievement.
There is no excuse for poor quality instruction.
At risk students will achieve at the same rate as non-at-risk students with our help using a Response to Intervention process.
Staff members must have a commitment to children and a commitment to the pursuit of excellence in a caring classroom.
