School Vision Statement

We believe all children are capable of learning, and it is our responsibility to provide a rich, positive, safe and engaging environment that fosters a desire to learn and meet the challenges of a changing world.

School Mission Statement

Together, our staff, parents, students and the community are dedicated to the ongoing education of all young people at Neil Cummins Elementary School.

We work collaboratively to teach, mentor, motivate, challenge, and inspire our students. Our goal is for our students to become independent, critical thinkers who respond ethically to the challenges facing the world.

We accomplish our mission through a well-rounded curriculum including rigorous academic instruction. We differentiate the curriculum to meet divergent learning styles in a variety of ways, including implementing experiential, thematic and project-based learning wherever appropriate. Our focus is on educating the whole child, addressing cognitive, emotional, social, and physical growth. Best practices are enhanced by frequent assessment, regular opportunities for reflection, and innovative, ongoing professional development for our highly qualified, inspirational staff.
