• developing an understanding of the responsibility of being involved citizens of a school, community, state, country, and the world.
• giving our students a variety of opportunities to be exposed to diverse experiences that enrich and extend the intermediate elementary school program.
• maintaining an effective system of communication and collaboration between all members of the school community and the community at large.
• supporting a well qualified staff that engages in ongoing professional development which incorporates best practices to meet the diverse needs of all students.
