Statement
The mission
of MacGowan Elementary School
is to provide purposeful
literacy, numeric, sensory motor
and
relationship building experiences which will
enhance
the physical, emotional, intellectual and social
development
of young children in order to instill a

MacGowan
School Vision
The vision of
the MacGowan community is one where:
Students and
staff show regard for one another.
Students are
eager and confident learners.
Students have
intrinsic motivation to make
socially acceptable choices.
Students
possess the literacy and numeric
foundation for future school
success.
A partnership
between home and school exists to
maximize student success.
We
believe:
All children can and should be given every opportunity to
learn.
Children should be taught using developmentally appropriate practice.
Children’s individual learning needs
should be met through differentiated instruction.
A
foundation of sensory motor development is necessary for
future school success.
Learning should be joyful.
Children need clear behavioral limits, expectations and
predictable routines.
Children need a safe learning
environment.
Children need strong connections with adults that care for them in order to be successful.
A home/school
connection maximizes a child’s educational success.
