P77K’S Vision, Mission Statement, and Instructional Focus 2025-2026

P77K School Vision

The vision of our school lies in the belief system that each student learns differently. Therefore, each student is given access to the standards at their current level and at different entry points. We are charged with offering each student the opportunity to develop strong self-esteem, become responsible citizens, be career-ready, and achieve academic excellence.

P77K School Mission

Our mission is to identify how students learn best and provide each of them with a firm foundation in a supportive, nurturing, and caring environment that’s respectful for all. We present a full, rigorous curriculum that mirrors general education curriculum. Our goal is to foster life-long learners who will reach their highest potential in school, at home, in the community, and into adulthood.

P77K Vision of Racial Equity

P77K’s vision of racial equity lies in the belief that all students and staff will be provided with a safe and supportive environment to raise the achievement of all students while eliminating disparities along the lines of race. Staff will participate in racial equity training and implement culturally responsive teaching. As a result of these practices, barriers to student success will be lifted as students explore personal aspects of race to reach their highest level of independence across all settings.

P77K Literacy/Culturally Responsive Sustaining Education Vision

At 77K, we aim to create an inclusive and dynamic learning environment where students are empowered to achieve their fullest potential in literacy, communication, problem-solving, and critical thinking. We envision a school where students have the skills and confidence necessary for successful social-emotional, academic, and community interactions. We strive to cultivate continuous improvement and reflection of teaching practices and behaviors amongst our staff. Through teaching and learning, we encourage everyone in our school community to examine their implicit bias to understand their roles and their profound impact on student trajectory and the P77K school community through culturally responsive education and a commitment to inclusivity. We aim to prepare our P77K community to thrive in a diverse and interconnected world, where every teacher is equipped with the skills and strategies to ensure that every student has the opportunity to succeed regardless of their background or educational abilities. We aim to ensure that everyone within our organization is equipped with cultural competency.

P77K’s Transition and Work-Based Learning Vision

To ensure that students are college and career ready and have strong transition plans, that include pathways to economic security, P77K will continue to work collaboratively with students, families, and agency linkages, where appropriate, to ensure a seamless transition from school to their post-secondary life. P77K will also provide students with functional lifeskills, data-driven instruction, and practical vocational training to support them as they prepare for adulthood. P77K’s Tiered Vocational Program is tailored to meet their current skill levels and fosters their growth in independence and employability.

Priority Focus

If I build teacher capacity through targeted Professional Learning Community (PLC) tasks, focused on analyzing data to support the implementation of HMH curriculum and the analysis of student assessment data to identify subsets of literacy skills, then all students will have access to targeted instruction and make progess in their literacy skill acquisition.
