1. We believe that all students can learn and deserve an education that respects their individual learning strengths, interests, and developmental needs. Our responsibility as a staff is to ensure that all students have access to challenging and engaging activities. Teachers are the guiding force in leading, encouraging, and motivating students.

3. We believe that all students can learn through a student-centered and standards-driven curriculum, while focuing on individual needs,
4. We believe students need and deserve a rich and rigorous educational program which is student centered and driven by the standards. This will provide twenty- first century skills combing technology, literacy, creativity, and critical thinking with the core subject matter.
5. We believe all students can learn and deserve an education that respects their individual learning strengths, interests, developmental needs and gives them frequent opportunities to think critically, make appropriate choices, and grow in their ability to express themselves.
