Seattle SCHOOLS |

We understand the importance of education in today’s society. Parents want
nothing more than to place their children in schools where they know their
children will be in good hands. Especially when moving to a new area, parents
want to make sure that there are appropriate schools nearby.
Researching specific needs and wants for their children’s education is the first
step that any moving parent should take. A simple phone call to the school’s
district will answer most of your questions, but not all. Some cases may require
a visit to a counselor who is more than willing to help a parent find the right
education and school for their kids.
The internet is also a very useful source for information regarding ANYTHING
related to your child’s education. Here is a link to the Seattle School District
website.

Beliefs
- Public education is a foundation of democracy and provides the tools to
create a more egalitarian and just society.
- All children and youth have a right to a high-quality, comprehensive
public education.
- Public education must help all children and youth reach their highest
potential, feel successful, and become wise, thoughtful, and caring adults.
- We model what students learn—by what we say, what we do, how we treat each
other, and how we organize and run our schools.
- Children and youth learn most effectively when teaching and curriculum are
relevant to their own backgrounds, interests, and learning styles.
- Students thrive in an environment that offers a variety of learning
opportunities.
- To close the achievement gap1, we must recognize the impacts of
institutionalized racism2 on student success and question any excuses for
not making necessary changes.
- Students want and need positive relationships with adults, based on mutual
respect and high expectations for success, and schools must provide
opportunities for those relationships to flourish. |
- To learn effectively, students need their basic needs met—food, shelter,
clothing, personal safety and health, freedom from harassment, and respect
for their individuality and ethnic background.
- A school system works best when all participants are candid, open, and
accountable.
- All students can learn. Poor academic performance reflects the quality of
leadership and the way in which adults are working together, not the quality
of the students.
- Schools work better when they are open to and make good use of community
resources. Urgency is a critical element in true transformation.
- Fully funding public education is a basic responsibility of our society.
Goals
- Improve the effectiveness and relevance of instructional and support
services for all students.
- Eliminate the achievement gap.
- Eliminate all systemic barriers to student achievement.
- Build leadership capacity for accountability, inclusivity, and
effectiveness.
- Manage resources and set priorities using principles of equity and
sustainability.
Mission
To provide every student with effective, high quality teaching and learning
experiences, relevant curriculum and support services, in a safe and healthy
environment.
