ATHOL ELEMENTARY
Athol Elementary’s Mission is to
establish a strong foundation for lifelong learning by nurturing, guiding, and
challenging all of our students to achieve their maximum potential through the
cooperative efforts of home, school, and community.
•
All students can learn and each is a valued individual with unique
physical, emotional
and intellectual needs.
• Our main priority is student learning and the
promotion of a common set
of values reflecting the respect of
self, others and property.
• Parents are the first and primary teachers and
are responsible for their
children’s basic needs and values.
• Each student shares in the responsibility of
his/her academic, moral and
social behavior.
• Students learn in different ways and should be
provided a basic curriculum
with a variety of instructional
approaches to support their learning in an orderly,
safe, comfortable and disciplined environment.
• A caring community, in which students, staff,
parents and visitors feel welcome,
safe and respected, is essential to
learning.
• The right to pursue an education within a school
setting is the privilege and
right of each student.
• Instructional and curricular practices must
include basics in technology and communication skills for all students.
• To enable students to become confident, self-directed, lifelong learners and responsible citizens in tomorrow’s workforce, a commitment to continuous improvement is imperative.
