“What the best and wisest parent wants for his child, that must we want for all the children of the community. Anything less is unlovely, and left unchecked,
destroys our democracy.”
• John Dewey
It's no accident that our school feels like a family. Rooted in our mission, this school is truly "a collaborative community of educators and families working together to help our students grow." There is mutual respect between our parent partners and our educator experts, as we recognize we are members of the same team. Parents, guardians, and even extended family members are regularly seen on campus volunteering or attending school events. We have an active and generous PTO (Parent-Teacher Organization) and we encourage our community members to come and share their talents or time with us.
