    Vision

    Our vision of the future guides our decisions and priorities.
     
    We envision a School District: 
    • where students will be engaged in instructional programs that will develop their communications skills, critical thinking skills, productive utilization of technology, creativity, and ability to work cooperatively and independently
    • where students are motivated to learn and excited about learning.
    • which provides both curricular and co-curricular activities that will challenge all students.
    • where teachers have a command of content knowledge, make use of appropriate strategies and methodologies, and serve as important role models for students.
    • with a caring and committed faculty and staff who will be continuously engaged in learning and developing their skills.
    • where parents realize the vital role they play in the education of their children and work cooperatively with their children's teachers and administrators.
    • where instructional programs and services reflect the learning needs of individual students.
    • where learning objectives are clearly defined and a comprehensive system of assessing student progress is in place.
    • where all its members feel valued, cared for, and safe.
    • where facilities and instructional materials are of high quality, are well maintained, and are conductive to learning.

     We expect that our students will: 

    • have an appreciation for the arts.
    • think critically and exhibit creativity.
    • use technology effectively to access and process information.
    • learn how to work independently and with others.
    • demonstrate strong communication skills.
    • accept challenges and take intellectual risks.

    • understand the rights, privileges, and responsibilities of citizenship and have respect for the rights of others.
    • possess skills necessary to further their education and/or compete in the job market.
    • have an appreciation for all academic areas.

     Our beliefs work together to form the foundation for all of our actions. We believe that: 

    • the ultimate commitment of the school system is to the students.
    • every individual has potential, can learn, and should have an equal opportunity to learn.

    • a positive relationship and rapport between teacher and student is essential for maximum learning to take place.
    • students, teachers, administrators, and parents are responsible and accountable for student learning.
    • parents are the child's first teachers and parental involvement enhances the educational process.
    • active community involvement is an important component of the educational process.
    • instructional programs grow out of an awareness of current learning theories and emphasize learning as an active process.
    • high standards and expectations are a prerequisite to achieving excellence.
    • the uniqueness of the individual and the strength of diversity should be supported and respected.
