Maple Street School

INTRODUCTION

Maple Street School is an instructional environment rooted in intentional focus on student growth, responsive learning communities, and mutual respect and care for one other. Each staff member contributes in a positive way to the Maple Street School community of learners. Students, families, parents, teachers, Instructional Assistants, and other staff view the school community as their own and each is an integral part of the continuous program development. The Maple Street staff creates an atmosphere where learning, acceptance of individual uniqueness, and high expectations prevail.

This Staff Handbook attempts to identify these MSS goals and define other school procedures. The handbook presents what needs to be done and how to do it. This edition is surely open to editing, new ideas and improvement, not only in method, but also in presentation.
