Achieving our personal best in a safe and caring environment."

Our mission statement is based upon our school’s values and beliefs.

Values:

• Empathy: Identifying with and feeling other people’s concerns
• Conscience: Knowing what is the right and decent way to act and acting that way.
• Self-Control: Regulating your thoughts and actions so that you stop and pressures from within or without and act the way you know and feel is right.
• Respect: Showing you value others by treating them in a courteous and considerate way.
• Kindness: Demonstrating concern about the welfare and feelings of others.
• Tolerance: Respecting the dignity and rights of all persons, even those whose beliefs and behaviors differ from your own.
• Fairness: Choosing to be open minded and to act in a just and fair way.

Beliefs:

• Every individual is unique and has his/her own learning style.
• Learning is a life long process and is a cooperative effort between community, home and school.
• Children must be given the opportunity to experience success.
• Our school is a safe, friendly and comfortable environment which recognizes the dignity of the individual and fosters respect for others.
• Schools must nurture the whole child, including the physical, emotional, social and academic needs of all students.

We believe that public education is the best means to achieve these beliefs and values.
