Philosophy of John V. Evans Elementary

We believe all children are unique. As a staff, we provide for these differences in a framework of caring, acceptance, and understanding.  The children with whom we work should learn to accept each other and show appreciation for the strengths in others and an understanding of their weaknesses.

We believe that children need limits that are clear and well defined but comfortable to move within.  We believe that every child has the right to think and act creatively within these limits in developing and being their best self.

We believe that each child has the right to effective instruction (they must learn the basics) which reflects their ability, readiness and potential.

We believe that all school decisions made are in consideration of that which is best for children when meeting their needs and the needs of society for today and tomorrow.
