Sonora Elementary Mission and Vision

Mission

Sonora Elementary’s mission is to provide a safe community where high levels of learning are ensured for ALL.

Vision

The vision of Sonora Elementary School is to provide a future of opportunities in a rapidly changing world through an inclusive environment that: ensures children learn essential standards, encourages ALL to persevere when faced with challenges, and empowers students through choice and voice. To live this reality we believe that the most promising strategy is to develop our capacity to be a professional learning community. We envision a school in which staff:

  • Unite to achieve a common purpose.

  • Work interdependently in collaborative teams.

  • Demonstrate a personal commitment to the academic success and general well-being of each student.
