Dear Parents,
I am very excited about beginning this school year with your child! We will learn many exciting things together all while having fun. The beginning of the year typically means that parents are flooded with lots of paperwork and new routines to learn for the classroom, so I have outlined many routines for you to review. Below you will find a summary of many of the routines and policies that will be in effect for this year. Please take a moment to review this information and feel free to contact me with your questions or concerns. Thank you!
Vision Statement
Our vision is that students leave school with:
- a set of moral values – honesty, integrity, good judgment, and respect for others.
- a comprehensive set of skills and a desire for knowledge in reading, writing, mathematics, science, arts, technology, and health including developing a strong self-esteem and high personal expectations
We value the partnership which exists between school, parents, and community and the part it plays in realizing this vision.
Mission Statement:
The mission of Merritt Academy is to instill academic excellence, character development, a love for life long learning, and service to others.
