We believe that:

• high student achievement is attainable for all students and should be the primary factor in all decision making.
• every child deserves to attend a safe, welcoming school that provides a rigorous, equitable education for all students.
• fair does not mean the same.All students should be provided with the tools that he/she needs to be successful and we believe that those tools will differ based upon each student’s needs.
• students are most successful when there are strong partnerships between home, school, and community.
• our students deserve our best each and every day.
• as teachers, we must continue researching and learning the most effective strategies for reaching all of our students.
