MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of
Arcadia Elementary School is to establish a strong foundation for lifelong
learning by challenging and nurturing all students toward their maximum
potential, while providing an environment which promotes success.
Statement of Philosophy
Arcadia Elementary School provides
relevant, day-to-day, meaningful learning experiences for all students by
developing in each student the ability to think and to form sound judgment and
reasoning. We strive to help each child develop intellectually, socially,
emotionally, physically, and mentally.
We, the faculty and staff, believe that it is the school's responsibility to
develop these experiences through instruction, activities, and community
resources. We believe that a program where specific needs are met will
give students the best possible education to become knowledgeable, productive,
and responsible citizens.
