About Us

The purpose of education in the District's schools is to facilitate the growth and development of each child toward his/her potential. The District's staff shall recognize individual differences among pupils and encourage the students' achievement and progress, not only in basic skills but, also, in the ability to think independently, critically, and creatively. The school staff shall help pupils to understand our democratic society; to believe in it and to act fairly in their relationships with others. District staff will also seek to develop in students attitudes of respect, empathy, and helpfulness toward others. Learning activities will encourage pupils to have the ability and the desire to contribute to the world, to acquire knowledge and skills necessary to do this with satisfaction, and to use effective methods in understanding questions and in solving problems.
