 We will provide a supportive school atmosphere where everyone feels emotionally, physically, and intellectually safe. We will hold high expectations for student achievement and character, and will guide students to make responsible choices for their lives and the learning process. We will communicate with parents and each other about students and will encourage parents to be positively involved in their children’s education.
