Flagstone Elementary School Mission Statement:
Our daily commitment: Flagstone
Elementary will be a safe, friendly, child-centered learning community
focused on excellence and success for each student.
These words are taken seriously each day at Flagstone. Every person we
hire is asked if he/she will be a daily role model for the mission. At
the start of the school year, each classroom writes their own mission
statement and shares it at a school assembly. These mission statements
are displayed collectively in our galleria, and each class displays
their own in their room. This emphasis on mission is to remind our
students and ourselves to be purposeful in our actions and to remain
focused on the important things each day.
Safety and friendliness come first. We want each student to feel safe
at school and to know, and feel, that we care about one another here.
We hold our children’s well-being and learning in the center of our
actions. Both within our classrooms and as a staff, we focus on
learning together. Our teachers meet as teams weekly to plan
instruction, share materials and ideas, and to monitor the learning
progress of their students. Our staff development this year is centered
on literacy and technology. We know that the more we know, the more our
students can learn.
Focusing on excellence means that we will have high standards for
academics and behavior. While excellence is our goal, we also know that
success means different things for different students. We work hard to
ensure that each child is successful.
