Mission and Vision Statement

VISION

As members of the Bruce Elementary community, we, working cooperatively, are committed to preparing all students for the 21st century. We will encourage them to reach their fullest potential within a physically and emotionally safe environment by providing effective educational opportunities that will enable them to become lifelong learners and productive citizens in a global society.

MISSION

Our mission is to provide a place where Bruce Elementary students are given opportunities and are encouraged to grow toward their academic best while allowing self-sufficiency and responsibility as members of a democratic society.

BELIEFS

We believe Education is a lifelong process not a product.

Students are whole beings, valued and respected for their uniqueness, fully capable of and expected to reach their maximum learning potential.

All students have the right to an education, but not the right to interfere with the education of others.

The school learning environment must be safe and secure.

Parent involvement is critical to student success.

Students benefit when mutual respect is modeled by students, staff, administrators, parents, and community.

The curriculum must be relevant and applicable to the 21st century.

Students learn in a variety of ways; therefore, teachers are expected to teach the adopted curriculum, using a variety of teaching methods and advanced technology tailored to student learning styles.

The support of training opportunities for staff, relevant to the curriculum, based on current best practices in methodology, up-to-date technology, and quality preparation time, benefits student growth and achievement.

The availability of modern facilities and the latest technology will benefit students' achievement as well as attract the best teaching applicants.

A technological framework will enhance student learning with appropriate financial support.

The responsibility for a successful education is shared by students, teachers, administrators, Board of Education, parents, and community working together as a team to build a strong foundation for learning.
