Our Vision

Oak Mountain: Expect Success

 

    Mission Statement
Oak Mountain Elementary School, an inclusive school rich in diversity, will provide developmentally appropriate educational experiences in a child-centered environment.  This enables students to develop to their full potential and to continue growing as productive members of society.

 

Our Beliefs
             All children are capable of learning.

            Programs should reflect high expectations and  should be developmentally appropriate to meet each student's needs and learning styles.  

            Children need opportunities to investigate, solve, and invent solutions to relevant and challenging problems which are facilitated by the teacher in a safe and secure environment.

            Students need a strong skill base in all subjects including fine arts, physical education and technology.

            Evaluations of students should consist of a variety of assessment techniques that are data driven and continuous across the grade levels. 

            We believe in providing opportunities to foster positive self-image, independence, responsibility, and interpersonal skills.

             We believe in reinforcing principles of good citizenship, respect for each other, and acceptance of individual differences.

            Teachers, staff, administrators, parents, students and community share in the responsibility of providing a supportive learning environment.
