VALUES & BEL EFS
We believe that:
While all children can learn, they learn at different rates and in different ways.
High expectations and an engaging, innovative, technological learning environment are critical to the
learning success of all students.
Students must take responsibility for their own learning and achievement.
Effective collaboration requires trust, mutual respect, open, and honest communication.
District policies are necessary to ensure equitable and consistent implementation of expectations.
Goals must be specific, measurable, attainable, results-oriented, and time-bound.
Continual stakeholder feedback guides improvement.

Home-School Partnership Goal: During the 2013-14 school year, we will increase
opportunities for parents to become involved in school by offering monthly workshops and
activities at the school as identified by the 2013 Harris Survey and a needs assessment
survey. This goal will be measured by an increase in satisfaction in a pre/post survey to
parents. (connected to District Goal #4)
Social-Emotional Learning Goal: RES students will increase overall composite scores in
each of the 3 social-emotional learning goal areas each benchmark period during the 201314 school year as measured by the BESST benchmark assessment. (connected to District
