Mission Statement

The staff at Metompkin Elementary School is devoted to educating the whole child. We seek to develop each child intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically. An atmosphere of patience, understanding, courtesy, and mutual respect lends itself to the maintenance of an orderly, secure environment conducive to learning.

We believe that social development is as important as academic success. Therefore, the development of positive social skills will foster good school citizens. This early foundation will serve to create productive well-rounded citizens for our democratic society. In all areas, we will strive to establish healthy attitudes toward learning by providing good role models and varied learning experiences.

We believe that open communication between the administration, faculty, staff, parents, and students is the key to an effective educational program. We will encourage the cooperation and seek the assistance of parents, community members, and social agencies in helping to address the needs of our students. In addition, our facility and talents are available to the community we serve.
