High expectations are in place, and we believe that all students can and will learn. Our staff develops positive relationships with our students and families which foster in them a love of learning and desire to succeed. A strong sense of family between school staff, students, and family members exists and contributes to the continuing success of the school.
Mission Statement:
The strong sense of community within our school allows our staff to know all learners and the instructional strategies each child needs to achieve growth and success in all academic areas. In addition, our school's use of MTSS fosters a safe and secure enviroment, allowing students to feel safe and to take risks educationally and socially. These goals and practices align with the SMCPS mission and we continue to promote high expectations, and a positive and nurturing learning environment for our students.
