• It is essential for all students, staff, families, and stakeholders to value and respect each other with our words and actions.

• For optimal learning to occur, students’ basic needs must be met (food, health, rest, security).

• Instruction should be individualized, meaningful, engaging, and purposeful.

• It is our responsibility to help prepare students to become productive citizens who are responsible and ready for the ‘real world.’

• It is important to frequently recognize and celebrate successes.

• Learning is a lifelong process.

• We are a community of learners where all staff members take responsibility for each student’s success.

• Teachers have an obligation to help students explore their personal strengths, interests, and abilities.

• Education includes instruction in character and leadership.
