In order to make our vision a reality, we must make our school a truly pro-student environment. We will design lessons that are
engaging for all students by utilizing a variety of instructional strategies that allow everyone to be successful. We will support
students as they begin to figure out who they are and how they fit into the world with loving guidance, positive interventions,
and a focus on restorative justice. We will ensure that every student has the same opportunities to become exactly who they
want to be. In our school, all children will be held to a high standard of behavior and academic achievement because each of
them is capable of meeting and exceeding those goals.
It is our objective to make sure that everything we do, in addition to being pro-student, is pro-education. We will choose
materials that are dynamic enough to engage our new generation of learners, integrate technology in a way that prepares them
for the ever-changing world they will enter, and deliver instruction in a way that helps them become critical thinkers and
problem solvers. However, education is certainly not limited to what happens in the classroom. We will offer opportunities to
everyone to become educated in working as a team through ample athletic and extracurricular opportunities. We will model
kindness, integrity, and grit every day, and teach our students that anything worth having is worth working for.
We will build a strong school community. If a child does not feel safe at school, learning cannot take place. Ultimately, we are
sending our students out into bigger communities than they have ever been part of before, and it is our responsibility to prepare
them to be change-makers in every environment they enter. We will build strong relationships with other local schools so that
when our students move on they are set up for success. We will reach out to our local community to engage others in
supporting our students in all of their endeavors. By having strong ties to the community, we can offer our students a view into
the future - they can see that there are people everywhere who were once small-town kids just like themselves and are now
making a difference in the world.
