The mission of Rudolph Gordon Elementary, in cooperation with home and community, is to prepare children to become lifelong learners and responsible, productive citizens by creating meaningful learning experiences in a safe, nurturing environment. Our focus is to create a comprehensive learning organization that understands, cares about, and works for students in an effort to prevent student failure. We believe that all children can learn, that all children should be given learning opportunities to meet their unique needs, gifts, and learning styles in order to reach their full potential, and that educational experiences should encourage students to learn to communicate effectively, solve problems competently, think critically and creatively, and act responsibly. We believe that education is a shared responsibility involving students, teachers and staff, parents, and community members, and that school should be a safe and nurturing environment where the cultures and customs of families are respected.
