Our Vision and Mission
Vision: Life ready.
Our vision is simple; we want to ensure that when our scholars leave our doors, they are ready for life.
In order to do that, we have our Mission:
The Dawson Elementary School community will work together to develop each child's greatest potential as a productive and responsible member of society by providing our students with a firm foundation for life long learning through:
- a comprehensive curriculum
- quality instruction
- high expectations for student achievement
- opportunities for the development of leadership and citizenship skills
- attention to the whole child
Dawson Beliefs
- All students can learn at their own pace and in their own style.
- Our students can become responsible, compassionate, environmentally aware, and critical thinkers.
- The maximized education of the child is a shared venture of parents, teachers, and the community.
- Our staff can kindle the joy of life-long learning in our students.
- By staying abreast of current educational trends, teachers grow professionally and model life-long learning.
- Trust, participation, and communication are key to achieving our goals.
- By teaching real life skills and self-discipline and by building self-esteem, we can make a positive difference in a child's life, the community, and the world.
