Mission Statement:
The communities of ISD #2689 will be held accountable for the achievement of all learners by developing an educational program of excellence for lifelong learning.

Belief Statements:
We believe...
Our educational system should reflect and implement the democratic ideals of the society in which we live.

Our educational system should lead every person to work cooperatively with others and to value and accept diversity.

The educational practices we follow should be open to improvements that will enhance our programs and improve our schools.

Staff involvement, gathering and analyzing information and experience should be central to the decision-making process.

The school, community and home have a shared responsibility for meeting the needs of each student.

Learning should be the main focus for every student and should allow students, parents and teachers to set goals that are challenging, attainable and pertinent to the student's future aspirations.

Learning should take place in an environment of mutual respect, with trust, caring, and nurturing pervasive throughout the educational system.

Learning is an active and lifelong process.

Curriculum, instruction, and assessment should be clear and relevant.

Everyone has the potential to learn.

Students must realize and accept their responsibility to self and others by making choices, accepting the consequences for their choices, and becoming self-directed.

Learning is enhanced through recognition of strengths and weaknesses and through caring attention.
