Board of Trustees
We support high academic achievement and the development of critical thinking skills. In partnership with families and our educational community we strive to create an environment where a love of learning is nurtured, diversity is honored, and all students are supported to reach their potential.
Core Beliefs
- Honor diversity in all our students, people and instructional programs in order to better serve and educate our kids
- Every child is capable of reaching his or her full potential as learners
- Promote positive inter-relationships and partnership among staff, families and community in order to provide a quality education for our students
- Encourage and support responsible volunteerism in support of the education of our students
- Learning should be enjoyable so that both students and adults benefit from our educational mission
- The arts are an integral part of the education of all children.
Three Year Goals
- Develop strategies to increase the involvement of the local Hispanic community in our schools and across grade levels in order to provide better support and educational opportunities for Hispanic students.
- Identify and finalize a process and timeline for the District’s grade level configurations and transition in light of the continuing decline in enrollment in our region.
- Integrate the teaching of Spanish K-8 across all grade levels in order to build the foundation for a bilingual student body.
- Ensure that student learning is the priority by which all decisions, programs, and expenditures are measured.
- Increase student awareness, ability and accessibility to technology across our schools and subject areas.
- Emphasize healthy co curricular opportunities for students beyond our core academic programs to include Fine and Performing Arts, Industrial Arts and Sports.
