Kennedy School Mission
It is our mission to build a nurturing environment in which
all
children grow in their confidence as well as in their ability to read
and write successfully. We want our readers to develop skills and read
materials that will make them independent, confident readers. We need
to allow them many different opportunities to read at their own
independent reading level in order to develop a strong foundation for
the lifelong enjoyment of reading.
We also believe our children should grow in their ability to know and
do mathematics and become better mathematic problem solvers. Our
children should explore mathematics in ways that stimulate curiosity
and develop depth of understanding. Their mathematics program should
focus on problem solving and exploring the connection between
mathematics and real life experiences.
With the help of parents and the community we will promote a school
climate of respect, cooperation, responsibility, and an understanding
of everyone's obligation to the community.
