Guiding Principles

In order to realize our vision, meet our goal, and fulfill our mission, we will:

  • Maximize instructional time to focus on student learning

  • Hold ourselves accountable to our mission by engaging in ongoing professional development, collaborating with other professionals to plan standards-based instruction, providing students with timely feedback as they learn, and doing whatever it takes for each student to succeed

  • Filter decisions through the question, “How does this promote our students’ learning?”

  • Make student and staff attendance a priority

  • Promote a safe and supportive environment in which we recognize that failure is intrinsic to growth and is viewed as an opportunity for learning
