We further recognize that each child can only be successful when we acknowledge all aspects of that child’s life – addressing their needs, enhancing their intellect, developing character, and uplifting their spirit. Finally, we recognize that individuals learn, grow, and achieve differently; and it is therefore critical that as a district, we provide a diversity of programs based on student needs. As a district, we recognize that education does not exist in a vacuum. In recognizing the rich diversity of our student population, we also acknowledge the richness of the diverse environment that surrounds us
