Mission
The mission of Rosa Parks Elementary School is to welcome children of all abilities and cultural backgrounds and teach them to excel in both academic subjects and interpersonal skills. They learn to reason, see their place in the world and express their ideas by studying mathematics, environmental science and the language arts. All students develop the creative and critical thinking skills needed to navigate our challenging world and a level of empathy that makes them assets to their community and stewards of their environment.

Vision
Rosa Parks Elementary School is a safe and nurturing place where academic excellence is the standard for all. The students and the families here come from different walks of life; we have special gifts and special needs; we speak many languages and have varied traditions. We come together with a spirit of curiosity and respect to develop a lifelong love of learning. By studying the natural world we develop a respect for the diversity of our school, our community and our planet. A sense of wonder bolsters our classroom experiences and we leave Rosa Parks with a deep sense of fair play and with the skills we need to achieve in middle school and beyond as lifelong learners.

Goals
1. Increase the academic achievement of all students through effective instruction and a challenging and engaging curriculum.

2. Implement interventions that address barriers to student learning in order to meet the needs of the whole child.

3. Establish and maintain the culture and governance necessary to support an environment conducive to learning.
