BELIEFS

We believe that...

• Each student is a valued individual with unique intellectual, physical and emotional needs with intrinsic values and should be treated fairly in an environment where cultural diversity is respected and valued.
• Student experiences greatly affect abilities and the potential to learn.
• Student behavior and attitude related directly to learning.
• Students learn in different ways, therefore, clear goals and high expectations for student achievement should guide the design of instructional strategies and learning activities.
• Assessments of student learning should provide students with a variety of opportunities to demonstrate their achievements and authentic contents in which to apply their learning.
• Communications and involvement among school/community/parent/ guardian/student are vital to student success.
• Teachers, staff, administrators, parents, students, and community members share in the responsibility of providing a supportive, safe learning environment within our school.
• The commitment to continuous improvement is imperative if our school is going to enable students to become confident, self-directed, lifelong learners.
