All students can learn. Student learning is the chief priority for the school. Students' learning needs should be the primary focus of all decisions impacting the work of school.

Students learn in different ways and should be provided with a variety of instruction approaches to support their learning. Students learn best when they are actively engaged in the learning process.

Exceptional students (e.g., special education, limited English proficiency, gifted/talented, etc.) require special services and resources.

A safe, physically comfortable environment promotes student learning.

Each student is a valued individual with unique physical, social, emotional, and intellectual needs.
