School Vision
Purche Avenue Elementary School will be a community of safe, respectful and responsible learners who are passionate about learning and achieving. Our collaboration with all stakeholders will produce a nurturing and positive environment that fosters curiosity and inquiry and develops students who are able to excel in a culturally diverse society that features evolving technology.
We believe:
● Respect for each individual is fundamental to teaching and learning.
● All children can learn given appropriate time, instruction, and access to resources.
● Learning, attendance, and behavior improve when students are actively engaged in meaningful work.
● Education is a shared responsibility that demands a strong partnership between home, school and community.
● An effective balance and interdependence must exist among the written curriculum, instruction in the classroom, and assessment for and of learning.
● High standards and expectations must be maintained through a system of accountability for all students, staff and schools.
● Quality faculty and other staff are essential to school excellence.
