Mission & Vision Our mission is to promote positive attitudes and nourish a love for learning. Our vision is everyday we do our best.
Fundamental Beliefs Student learning is the primary focus of all decisions impacting the work of our school. Each student is a valued individual with unique physical, social, emotional and intellectual needs. Teachers, administrators, parents, and the community share the responsibility for advancing the school's mission. Students are successful when they have appropriate learning opportunities and are actively engaged in the learning process. A safe and physically comfortable environment promotes student learning.
Fundamental Beliefs Curriculum should incorporate a variety of learning approaches to accommodate differences in needs, interests, and learning styles. Challenging expectations increase individual student performance. Curriculum should include the technological advances of an ever-changing world.

Students will make the transition to becoming productive citizens by respecting individual rights and by recognizing their responsibilities in promoting a democratic society.
