Beliefs

Our beliefs represent our strongest values and highest ideals. We commit to using these beliefs as guiding principles in all that we do, including every day decisions that will significantly affect the learning and well-being of our students, staff, and school communities.

  • Every student can learn.

  • Learning is the key to a better world. An educated and informed society empowers responsible citizens.

  • Students must share responsibility for their own learning and success. They should acquire the skills and develop the interests required to successfully benefit from the rewards of lifelong learning.

  • It is essential for students to respect personal differences, value social diversity, and appreciate the multi-cultural heritage of our democratic society.

  • The family and larger community play an invaluable role in the educational process. Schools must involve parents as partners in learning and engage the community in students' educational experience.

  • Accountability is necessary for achieving our district's mission and is shared by students, staff, school board, and parents.
