We believe that parents and families are essential partners with the District in their child’s education and development.

We believe that students thrive when their individual learning needs are met.

We believe that risk-taking, in a safe, supportive environment, is essential for the continuous improvement of our schools and of public education.

We believe that every student has the ability to lead and that it is our responsibility to help them develop the skills and provide them with the opportunities and experiences to do so.

We believe that when families, District staff, and the community actively work together to realize a shared vision for education, our students can reach their highest potential.

We believe that in order for students to learn, they must feel safe physically, socially, and emotionally.

We believe that treating each other with dignity, respect and kindness is the foundation for positive and productive relationships between students, teachers, parents, District staff, the Board of Trustees and community members.

We believe that engaging and appreciating diverse perspectives will make us stronger as a school community.
