It is the mission of Clara Barton Elementary School to ensure that each child masters

 grade-level academic standards in a nurturing and safe environment.

 

 

Vision statement:

 

Clara Barton Elementary School will become a Benchmark School and make sufficient AYP according to national goals. Academic work will take precedence over all other school activities, and assessment results will reflect our expectations of academic excellence.  All students will be performing at or above grade level in reading and mathematics or will be making reasonable progress toward this goal.  All students will develop proficiency in the English language.

 

Students will accept the challenge to do their best work, and all will be provided with the opportunities to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for academic success. Resources will be adequate for the implementation of our programs and access to state- of-the-art technology.  Parents will play an active role in the education of their children.
