We accept the challenge of educating every child that enters our classroom in order that they experience continued growth toward achieving their highest potential: academically, socially and emotionally.
We are willing to be risk takers and life long learners.
We will challenge ourselves each year to create a dynamic, innovative learning environment.
We will create a warm/strict model of classroom management in which each child understands they are valued by being part of the community and rule making process.
We will ensure success for all students by offering a high level of teacher support for a sufficient amount of time before gradually releasing responsibility through modeling, guided practice, independent practice and application.
We will maximize learning by striving for intentionality in our teaching.
We will provide a learning environment in which we listen carefully and respond in a thoughtful and purposeful way that acknowledges, clarifies, honors and supports students' efforts.
