At New Minas Elementary School, 

Our goal is for students, families, and staff members to experience our school as a warm and caring place. We work together to create a positive atmosphere with mutual support and respect. We believe that when children feel good about themselves, they achieve to the best of their ability. We strive to help children develop a healthy self image by emphasizing the positive and developing a peaceful environment where everyone’s differences are recognized and celebrated.

Our school believes in preparing children for the future by establishing a partnership with parents and a link between the school and its community. We need to work together to provide quality opportunities for our children to enable their intellectual, social/emotional, and physical needs to fully develop.

We foster a sense of belonging in our students. We invite them to take pride in keeping our premises clean, healthy and environmentally friendly. By encouraging students to respect one another and their belongings we teach them to become responsible citizens.

We strongly believe in the concept of a total school community and encourage open dialogue with all partners in the on-going process of nurturing our students.
