Vision Statement
The Sutton Public Schools will
provide the community with a physically and emotionally safe learning
environment with access to the most modern technology and curriculum available.
Pre-school programs will be provided within an integrated setting.
The K through 12 curricula will be coordinated, facilitating grade level
transitions and integrating subjects through common themes.
Adult education programs will offer life long learning opportunities.
The teaching and support staff will be highly qualified, furthering their
professional development through continuing education.
The school campus will accommodate the student population, allowing for
small class sizes and special use classrooms.
The students, parents, teachers and support staff will work
cooperatively. Each individual will
be challenged to meet his or her maximum potential.
A strong school-parent-community involvement will be the foundation in
bringing the Sutton School System closer to our vision.
The School Committee further defined its vision statement during their two budget preparation meetings late in 2005.
Vision:
Sutton School District is in the top 10% of public schools in Massachusetts.
