The Mission of the Owen J. Roberts School District is to inspire and enable learners of all ages to realize their intellectual potential, pursue their personal development, and become responsible citizens by providing a dynamic and challenging educational program through a partnership among school, students, families, and the community.
In order to accomplish this mission, educational opportunities and experiences which challenge and empower students to acquire these attributes will be provided within an academic and extra-curricular program that emphasizes problem solving, analytical and creative thinking, and the development of independent study skills in the following curricular areas: communications, mathematics, science and technology, social studies, health and life coping strategies, physical education, fine arts, and vocational and career development.
We believe the school system consists of an educational partnership composed of the staff, the students, the parents and all members of the community. The partnership is mutually responsible for the highest possible development of knowledge, skills and attitudes of every student. Our goal is to produce educated, responsible citizens who recognize and appreciate learning as a life-long process of personal development and who become compassionate and contributing members of our diverse society.
Beliefs
An effective educational process enables each person to be an enthusiastic life-long learner, to have positive self esteem, and to accomplish the most they can as an individual.
Educational programs guided by high expectations and supported by appropriate resources lead to higher achievement.
A major purpose of education is to prepare individuals for responsible citizenship in our society.
The community, parents, school, and students share responsibility and accountability for the learning which occurs in each individual. When students participate in the total school environment they will:
- value their experience
- commit to their learning
- grow as individuals
- and enhance their environment
Every individual is to be treated with dignity and respect.
Each individual has unique intelligence, talents and needs.
The most profound learning experiences inspire and involve the total person.
Technology is fundamentally changing the educational process.
Educational planning must anticipate, prepare for, and manage change. |
