Behavior and Social-Emotional Learning: High Standards and Accountability: We maintain high standards for student behavior, holding students accountable in a consistent and fair manner while providing the necessary support to help them succeed. Through strong collaboration between administration, staff, and families, we effectively address behavior issues using team brainstorming and the MTSS program. We promote understanding and empathy among staff, ensuring thoughtful interventions for students with disabilities, avoiding actions that may escalate challenging situations.
Adult Expectations: We are committed to fostering a supportive and encouraging staff culture where collaboration, professional growth, and mutual respect are at the forefront. By prioritizing time for constructive teamwork and valuing diverse perspectives, we ensure that every voice is heard and every interaction is rooted in trust and good intentions. Unified by common standards for learning and rigor, we address concerns openly and directly, maintaining a culture of respect and professionalism across all interactions.
Community Engagement and Inclusivity We are dedicated to building a strong, inclusive school community by creating accessible opportunities for families, through connections that foster trust and engagement. By collaborating as a unified staff, we ensure that both families and educators work together in the best interest of our students, sharing resources and support to strengthen our collective efforts.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion We Value: Intentionality in Education: We believe in being intentional with classwork and interactions, treating all students with respect and dignity while recognizing their potential as general education students.
