Connecting Waters Charter School

Agenda (revised)

Parent Council Meeting

 

The mission of the Waterford Unified School district, in partnership with our community, is to provide a safe, respectful,  “child-first” learning environment through an articulated, integrated, and motivating curriculum while practicing solid educational principles, strategies, and technologies that develop life-long learners who are accountable, responsible, contributing members of society.

 

We believe that: Every child is unique; A sense of humor contributes to a healthy life; Education empowers a society; Knowledge empowers; Obstacles are an opportunity for growth: the family environment has a profound impact on children.

 

We believe in: Respecting yourself and others; providing and supporting a safe, comfortable environment; a supportive environment to enhance individual potential and opportunity.
