Our Vision for 2021
Our vision for the 2020-21 school year is to provide an environment for students (although virtual) that is rigorous yet calm so that our students anxiety about virtual learning is not heightened. Gives rise to a culture of care so that our students know that we care about them and their education. We also want to show that we understand that the state of our nation at this time has brought about many uncertainties (even loss) that have impacted them and their families.
We want our teachers to be and model accountability to the new normal so that our students will be able to adapt and do the same. We want to collaborate around the things we need to learn and do as we move through this remote learning season, and we want to be consistent so that all of our stakeholders will be able to rely on us as well as further develop a trusting relationship with us knowing that we are here together with them although we are apart.
