The mission of Valley Park Elementary School, working together with parents and the community, is to develop the skills and character necessary for children to meet the challenges of the future. The three main categories of our mission involve academic, social and personal areas. The building blocks of these categories are:

• Academic: To develop critical thinking skills used in reading, writing, listening, speaking, mathematics, science, social studies, and special subject areas.
• Social: To develop character traits such as the acceptance of others, honesty, sharing, respect, empathy, and the making of appropriate choices.
• Personal: To develop a positive self-image, self-confidence, self-management, motivation, responsibility, and a positive attitude towards learning.

Students are expected to put forth their best effort in all that they do.
