Athol Elementary School

Mission:

Athol Elementary’s Mission is to establish a strong foundation for lifelong learning by nurturing, guiding, and challenging all of our students to achieve their maximum potential through the cooperative efforts of home, school, and community.

Vission:

Athol Elementary – An inclusive, nurturing community dedicated to lifelong learning and responsible citizenship.

All students can learn and each is a valued individual with unique physical, emotional and intellectual needs.

Our main priority is student learning and the promotion of a common set of values reflecting the respect of self, others and property.

Parents are the first and primary teachers and are responsible for their children’s basic needs and values.

Each student shares in the responsibility of his/her academic, moral and social behavior.

Students learn in different ways and should be provided a basic curriculum with a variety of instructional approaches to support their learning in an orderly, safe, comfortable and disciplined environment.

A caring community, in which students, staff, parents and visitors feel welcome, safe and respected, is essential to learning.

The right to pursue an education within a school setting is the privilege and right of each student.

Instructional and curricular practices must include basics in technology and communication skills for all students.

To enable students to become confident, self-directed, lifelong learners and responsible citizens in tomorrow’s workforce, a commitment to continuous improvement is imperative.
