3. Develop Information and Digital Literacy Skills: We will teach students how to ethically access, evaluate, and use information from a variety of sources and equip students with foundational digital citizenship skills, enabling them to navigate the online world safely and responsibly.

4. Ensure Equitable Access to Resources: We aim to maintain a diverse and inclusive collection of print, digital, and multimedia resources that reflect the interests and cultural backgrounds of all students while also providing equitable access to technology tools that enhance learning and creativity.

5. Create a Welcoming and Engaging Environment: We wish to cultivate a vibrant, collaborative, and inspiring learning space that encourages curiosity, exploration, and discovery.
