VALUES AND BELIEFS

Making Decisions: We believe that decisions should be made in the best interests of all students and their families in the Fall River School District.

Safe Learning Environment: We believe that providing a safe learning environment, free from verbal or physical threats and attacks, is critical to the well-being of our students.

Shared Responsibility: We believe that education is the shared responsibility of the individual, family, peer group, school, community, business, and society.

Rights and Responsibilities: We believe that we must set standards of honesty, integrity, dignity, respect, and honor; however, people are ultimately responsible for their own behavior.

Comprehensive Education: We believe in providing classroom curriculum and instruction, along with co-curricular and extra-curricular opportunities, that help students grow into well-rounded people.

Effective Employees: We believe that every adult in the school environment impacts students’ success, making recruitment, staff development, and retention of effective employees a priority.

Fiscal Responsibility: We believe in maintaining fiscal responsibility to our district residents by operating within our budget, planning for the future, and using available resources effectively.

Commitment and Perseverance: We believe in modeling and instilling that achievement requires dedication and education. Setbacks are part of the learning process; setting goals brings results. Involvement is a choice and a responsibility. Perseverance reaps rewards.
