We, of the Mapleton School District, feel that the opportunity for an elementary education is both a right and a privilege that exists for everyone.
This school has a shared responsibility with the home and other community interest agencies for the education of our people. Our aim is to work in cooperation with the parents and the community to furnish the students with a curriculum of subjects and activities that will improve the development of the individual student; assist in the preparation for further schooling; and, thereby, improve our society.
The school must endeavor to transmit our cultural heritage and to develop thinking individuals in accordance with their individuality. This is accomplished through instruction, discipline and individual/group activities to develop physical, social and intellectual powers of the individual for the greatest benefit of society.
Based on the above philosophy, the goals to be achieved by the students of Mapleton School are as follows:
The mission of Mapleton Elementary School is to create an atmosphere that promotes lifelong learning, respect, and responsible citizenship.
