Mission

Commit to Growth

Serve Others

Make a Positive Impact


Overarching Vision

Unite and collaborate to create a safe, positive, and creative community with high expectations for growth for all.


Operational Visions

Culture Vision

Willow Creek is a diverse family built on positive interactions using collaboration, respect, and trust to ensure supportive relationships and growth for all.


Instructional Vision

In every classroom our instructional practice will be intentionally student-centered using backward design, engagement strategies, and rigorous content to meet learning goals.


Assessment Vision

Common formative (short cycle) and summative (DCA) assessments that are aligned with state and district standards will be given at WCES. Teachers will evaluate assessments to inform practice and intervene on behalf of students. Students will evaluate progress and adjust individual goals. Information will be communicated to parents regularly.

We believe in being genuine with sincere intentions.

We believe in developing and nurturing positive relationships within our community.

We believe embodying respect is treating others the way we want to be treated.
