Mission


 

  The mission of Sullivan Elementary School is to promote lifelong learning in a secure and challenging environment. Staff, parents, and community will share in the commitment to empower each student to lead a fulfilling and productive life in a culturally diverse society.

 Our Beliefs

 Student learning is the chief priority for our school.

 Each student is a valued individual with unique physical, social, emotional, and intellectual
           needs.

 A safe and physically comfortable environment promotes student learning.
 Students learn best when they are actively engaged in the learning process.
 Students need to demonstrate their understanding of a essential knowledge  and      
         skills and be actively involved in solving problems and producing quality work.
 Students need to apply their learning in meaningful contexts.
 A variety of methods should be used to assess achievement of the expectations for
     student learning.
 Curriculum and instructional practices should incorporate a variety of learning
     activities to accommodate differences in learning styles.
 Exceptional students (e.g., special education, physically challenged, limited English
     proficiency, talented and gifted, etc.) require special services and resources.
 Teachers, administrators, parents, and the community share in the responsibility for
     encouraging all to work together as a community of learners.
   Cultural diversity increases students' understanding of different peoples and
     cultures
 .
