At Sarah Smith Elementary School, we believe everyone has the right and responsibility to achieve his/her educational best. In order for this to happen, a safe and positive school environment is essential. To be the best, we will: * have clearly defined expectations for everyone. * honor and respect individual differences. * set consistent limits that create a safe and trusting environment. We are committed to providing world-class curriculum and instruction with a highly trained staff. Our home and community involvement is essential to our success. We are currently pursuing authorization by the International Baccalaureate Organization.
