CES Mission Statement

Mission

Together with families and the community, the mission of Clinton Elementary School is to develop a sense of community, independence, responsibility, and individuality. Integrating technology and thorough data collection, teachers and administrators will provide rigorous and diverse learning experiences in a safe, student-centered, and nurturing environment to ensure the development of all students.

Clinton Elementary School provides equitable access to learning opportunities for all students to acquire the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to succeed in middle school.  Clinton Elementary School is a place where teachers share the following vision and are engaged in a regular cycle of examining our practices in achieving it.

At our school we have empowered, expert learners in all classrooms. Students are with expert teachers who facilitate learners in mastering rigorous standards by consistently using the multi-modalities of the Universal Design for Learning instructional practices.

All students at the school are engaged through the use of high-quality curriculum and instructional practices that are used consistently by teachers. A data collection system is used regularly to identify student specific needs and provide a tiered system of supports to be inclusive of all children.  Our school environment is characterized by positive social behavior and social development where students are safe to self-regulate and self-advocate.  We recognize and celebrate that all students are unique and have differences and we take pride in getting to know our students in order to make learning accessible to each.

At Clinton Elementary school we strive to better know ourselves and confront unconscious bias and commit to discussions around systemic and social injustices in order to remove any barriers to providing equitable opportunities for all students.

Clinton Elementary School provides opportunities for active participation of all families as partners in learning with and about our students.

How we accomplish our vision is as important as the vision itself. Fundamental to success for our school are these basic values:

  • Excellence- in self and in others
  • Acceptance- of all diversity within our school community
  • Relationships- staff, students, family, and community
  • High Quality Curriculum- rigorous curriculum with access for all learners.
  • Integrity- act responsibly in all interactions throughout the day.
