School Mission Statement

James Madison Elementary School will focus on helping each student develop a lifelong connection to learning. We believe that looking at student achievement through a lens of equity will allow all students to reach their potential. Learning will reflect the past, reinforce the present, and help to anticipate a future that has yet to be invented. We understand that the development of individual character and group responsibility is created through programs, partnerships, and practices. Through this effort we will help all students find success.

It is our vision for the students of James Madison Elementary School to understand that their success depends on maintaining a positive attitude, developing usable skills, and acquiring knowledge needed to reach their goals. James Madison Elementary School enrolls students from a community rich with diversity. It is our daily mission to engage students with instruction and learning to help each student meet and exceed grade-level expectations.
