The Board of Education is committed to educational programs
that strive to develop concerned individuals who are caring,
confident, articulate, open-minded, and flexible. The Board
believes that students should be able to work cooperatively with
peers, staff, and community members in a nurturing environment
that respects individual differences.
In order to prepare district students for the future, the Board
encourages the development of curricula designed to teach the
skills of computing, problem-solving, creativity, analysis,
syntheses, critical thinking, and communication. Students must
also become aware of emerging global manner. Ultimately, students
must assume responsibility for their own learning, in order to
become self-directed, lifelong learners. The district school
should stimulate and expand a continual learning process, and
cultivate an understanding and appreciation of the rights and
responsibilities of American citizens, which will enable students
to function effectively as independent individuals in a democratic
society.
The educational program will provide each child with the
fundamental academic skills and basic knowledge required for
his/her maximum educational development, the opportunity for each
child to develop his/her interests and abilities to the fullest
extent according to his/her individual potential and special
services to promote the physical, mental, and emotional
development of each child. Extracurricular activities will be
offered when possible to enhance the academic program.
the Board encourages parents and teachers to offer their
expertise in helping to develop a school environment that is
academically challenging, psychologically satisfying and socially
fulfilling for students at all levels. The objectives of an
educational program are best realized when mutual understanding,
cooperation, and effective communications exist among the home,
community, and school.
