SOUTH WINDSOR COMMUNITY

Position Statement

 


The South Windsor community includes students, their families, adults, school personnel, and all other groups and service agencies that support the health and well being of children. All children are guaranteed by the community a safe and secure environment where they have the opportunity to grow and learn in order to achieve their own individual excellence. The focus of every learning environment must be to nurture students’ individual and unique talents at their varying stages of development, and understand, respect, and include the diversity of their experiences. As a community, we believe we must set high standards in an atmosphere in which students feel they belong, are willing to take risks and explore alternatives, and are challenged to reach their fullest potential. Therefore, it is our responsibility as a community to provide children with opportunities that prepare them to be life-long learners in a fulfilling life as productive citizens of the twenty-first century.

 

As a community…
  • we will promote constructive participation and productive citizenship in the COMMUNITY;
  • we will embrace diversity and ACCEPT individuality;
  • we will each demonstrate the responsibility to RESPECT self and others; and
  • we will create a respectful, safe, ridicule-free environment where EVERYONE is responsible for his or her own behavior.
