At Grove Elementary, we believe that...
- All students deserve an environment that is nurturing, safe and where cultural diversity is respected, and celebrated.
- All students can acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to become productive citizens and members of society; therefore, students will excel in an environment that engages them in rigorous academics that promotes higher level thinking, creative thinking and questioning.
- Students learn in different ways; therefore, teachers must provide a variety of approaches to support the diverse learning styles in every classroom.
- The whole child must be nurtured in a variety of ways; therefore, physical activities, advancements in technology, the fine arts, character development, and extra-curricular activities must compliment a rigorous academic program.
- Assessment of student learning must provide a variety of opportunities for students to demonstrate the achievement of rigorous standards.
- Students, parents, staff and community members must form a caring unit that values each individual student’s unique needs.
- The school program should foster leadership opportunities both in the school environment and throughout the community as well.
- Collegiality and teaming for excellence is central to the decision-making process. All aspects of the learning environment must be committed to continuous improvement for all.
