Mission
We look forward to working with you and your child this year. You will find fifth grade to be both exciting and challenging. Since the major goal of education is to prepare children with the skills necessary to lead them to happy and successful lives, we take our roles quite seriously. We will be encouraging the children to stretch themselves intellectually, physically, emotionally, and socially. They will be given a larger degree of freedom, which is accompanied by more responsibilities. We want the children to leave fifth grade with a good foundation of information and the ability to think for themselves. We also want to develop their creativity and self-confidence so that they may use their skills in situations away from Plaza Vista. Our goal is to create a positive atmosphere in our classrooms, to make it a place where learning is fun for a community of learners who share a common goal… becoming capable individuals who make their own imprint on the world around them.
