Family Resources!
I am so glad you chose us! I am truly looking forward to the 20-21 school year with you and your scholar. At Exceed Lower, we are committed to excellence and providing scholars with a well-rounded educational experience. At Exceed Lower we see the relationship between our scholars, their families, and the Exceed team as a learning partnership, because we believe we are better together. We provide a vibrant learning environment filled with opportunities for our scholars to develop a greater sense of self and the world.
We are accountable and responsible for every child’s academic, social, and emotional development and believe through our RISE Core Values all scholars at Exceed will develop the courage to achieve academic excellence, confront life’s challenges, and experience success. Our core values are summed in the acronym R.I.S.E. We believe we can do all things and become anything we dream. We are responsible for ourselves and our actions. We have compassion for others and we will create a better world. If we believe it, work hard at it, we will RISE to achieve it. See below to review our RISE Values.
Once again, welcome to Exceed Lower Charter School. I look forward to working with you to ensure our scholars' success! It is truly a privilege to have the opportunity to serve you and your scholar.
Sincerely,
Principal George
