• Each student is valued, will learn and will experience success.
• Education must address every facet of a child’s being.
• Staff is our most valuable asset in achieving our mission and vision.
• Respect, responsibility, fairness, citizenship, equity, diversity and inclusion are essential for a safe and successful learning environment.
• Seeking innovation and working to constantly improve all practices increases the value of our organization for all stakeholders.
• Research, assessment and measurement must inform decision-making and accountability.
• Sustaining fiscal strength is necessary for the vitality of our schools and community.
• Engaging our community through meaningful relationships fosters trust and accountability.
