We believe:
-
Academic
achievement for all students is the
district’s compelling purpose.
-
The district
must provide all students with the
opportunity to maximize their talents and
abilities.
-
Research-based assessments must be
included to identify student
potential and to drive instruction.
-
Differentiated instruction is essential
for all students to progress in their
learning.
-
Students
learn best in a safe and secure
environment. High expectations are the
collective responsibility of students,
parents, educators, and community
members.
-
Strong
character directly and positively affects
performance and success.
-
An
effective educational system anticipates,
plans, and acts in response to a changing
world.
-
Sound
financial management is necessary to support
education.
We envision an innovative, stimulating,
and exciting school community where all
participants are actively engaged in learning
in a safe and secure environment.
We offer an excellent educational
opportunity where each student acquires the
skills necessary to maximize potential and
enhance creative thinking. Each student is
challenged and prepared to become a lifelong
learner in a global society.
We commit to continuous growth and
utilization of the best practices in
assessment and instruction and in the
application of technology.
We model the “Twelve Traits of
Character,” embrace diversity, and
demonstrate responsible citizenship. |

Dear Parent/Guardian:
Our Parent's Handbook and Guide
has been developed to provide you
with the basic information about the
policies, practices, and procedures
of the elementary schools of our
school district.
This handbook is designed to serve
you as one source of information to
explain our elementary school
program. Schools of today are
much more complex and deal with many
more aspects of a child's life than
in the past. It is important
that parents understand the
expectations our schools have for
their elementary students.
We believe our schools run
smoothly when our parents are
involved in their child's education.
It is our hope that we can work
together to provide the best learning
environment for your child.
We extend our best wishes to our
parents for a successful school year.
Do not hesitate to call on us when
questions arise.
Sincerely,
Dr. John J. Czerniakowski
Assistant Superintendent
