At Fox Creek, our mission is that “We are united in providing an authentic, rigorous, and equitable education to intentionally grow the head, heart and hands of ALL.” We have advanced this through the three dimensions of student achievement. We use the EL Modules to provide a rigorous curriculum for our students, we utilize the EL character framework and we believe in the tenants of high quality work.
Crew is not only a structure, it's a way of being. It is the heartbeat of our school. Crew is a culture that is cultivated through engagement in authentic, joyful, and collaborative experiences. By living as a Crew, we build trust in one another and feel nurtured, valued, and seen. We feel safe to be our authentic selves. We are agents of change and show and grow our Habits of Character in and beyond the four walls of the classroom. WE ARE CREW!
