VALUES AND BELIEFS STATEMENT

 

The Mountain View Middle School community (students, parents, teachers, staff, and community members) believe that:

 

Education is a shared responsibility wherein students, parents, educators, and the community recognize and accept their roles to support one another in the educational process.

 

Students learn best by experiencing success in an encouraging, healthy, caring, and safe environment which addresses individual needs.

 

Students have the ability to learn and contribute to their own success when provided with curricular experiences compatible to their learning styles.

 

Learning should be a life-long quest encouraging students to develop skills and to take responsibility to reach their full potential in an ever changing world.

 

The school community will be encouraged to achieve their personal best intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically through an expanded curriculum and professional development.

 

Students will be guided in developing positive attitudes and values through cooperation, shared responsibilities and mutual respect.

 

People are our most important resource; therefore, there must be a financial and personal commitment in order to implement the above beliefs.
