Mission Statement

"The North Star Elementary School community is dedicated to the belief that all students can learn in an environment that is supportive and safe. Our mission is to create an environment that promotes respect, responsibility, cooperation, and compassion among students, staff, and parents alike. In this way, students will have access to the instruction they need to achieve the highest educational standards and become responsible and productive citizens.

We Believe...

that all students can learn;
that student ownership of their learning process is essential;
that family involvement in our school is necessary;
that literacy skills in reading, math, and technology are basic requirements for participation in today's world;
that all intelligences have equal worth;
that multiage classrooms are an integral part of our belief about what school should be.

We Desire...

a school where a solid foundation of basic skills exists to serve student exploration and understanding;
a school where habits of mind are developed, internalized, and used in every area of study: concern for evidence, viewpoint, cause and effect, hypothesizing, and defending;
a school environment that enables children and adults alike to question, wonder, explore, create, risk, reflect... to engage in learning.
