• Our Mission: Whitney will prepare all students to be lifelong learners and productive community members through a commitment to high standards.

     

    Our Vision: The Whitney school community envisions each student taking responsibility for his/her learning in a safe and caring relationship centered environment, where risk-taking is celebrated and mistakes become opportunities to grow.

     

    Our Collective Commitments:

    1. ELA Commitment: We will commit to using the new reading curriculum with fidelity. 
    2. Math Commitment: We will commit to making data based decisions on the guaranteed standards. 
    3. PBIS Commitment: We will commit to documenting minor and major behavior in Skyward in order to respond to trends promptly.

     

    Our Collective Beliefs:

    1. Positive relationships strengthen communication and learning.
    2. Education develops students’ ability to think critically, integrate ideas and become positive members of a community.
    3. Students learn best when actively engaged in the process of their own learning.
    4. Relevant content presented in a safe and caring environment optimizes the ability to learn.
