Thoreau Elementary School Guiding Beliefs

All members of the school-wide learning community (students, staff, families, and community) have a collective responsibility to create and sustain a safe environment that is respectful, engaging, vibrant and culturally responsive.  Our work is consistent with the following parameters:

  • Consistent, reasonable, respectful and related consequences and restorative actions are essential to maintain safety and connection to the learning community
  • Data based decision making guides intervention and support
  • Critical evaluation, reflection, and professional development sustain and renew continuous improvement.
