Decisions made are centered on students thriving
Student success academically, socially and emotionally
When students succeed, we all succeed
School Board's focus must remain firmly on what matters most: student success
Teaching tools and inservice available for teachers
Respect and trust from district personnel and board
Pay and benefits to be comparative to or stronger than present Alpine School District's negotiated package
Allow time for teacher collaboration
Schools are the heart of our communities
Parent participation is essential
SCC, PTA, and District programs are necessary for student success
Collaboration and transparency are also essential for school/student success.
