What Makes Our School Unique?
School is a wonderful place to learn about the world in which we live. School can be a source of security, a challenge, motivator of dreams, a place where seeds are planted for the future, and a builder of self-esteem.
The faculty, staff, parents, and our corporate sponsors (Gaylord Entertainment, Med Assets and Donelson United Methodist Church) are committed to providing our students with a stimulating, challenging educational environment!
As a school, we pledge to do our best to:
Provide inspiring and motivating learning experiences for each student.
Provide a safe, positive and challenging school environment that promotes learning.
Show respect with our words and actions for each child and his/her family.
Provide appropriate homework to reinforce the skills taught at school.
Communicate with parents regularly about their child’s progress.
Encourage all parents to be involved in all school activities. |
