In Salina Public Schools, we believe
- Each individual deserves a supportive and caring environment.
- Teachers are catalysts to create a learning environment where kids are curious and their minds are stimulated, motivating them to take risks while learning.
- It is our responsibility to positively affect the academic and social/emotional growth of our students and staff with the hope of strengthening our community.
- We must support, inspire, and guide the creation of school communities that foster healthy relationships, academic growth, grit, and sensitivity to social/emotional needs.
- We must create a culture of empowerment, innovative thinking and problem solving.
- We must be responsive to students' needs while focusing on the whole child's individual success.
The Educational Programs Department members believe
- Students must be at the center of all decisions.
- We must be responsive to student needs.
- It is healthy to challenge status quo.
- We are obligated to continue our own learning.
