Vision & Mission - CRMS

Vision:


Cedar River Middle School staff members have a shared commitment to develop strong relationships with students, parents, the community and other staff members. As a professional learning community, staff members support each other to insure student success. We foster a sense of belonging for all students and help them develop into contributing citizens by meeting the academic, social, emotional and physical needs of our students.

Mission:


Cedar River Middle School staff members have a shared responsibility to provide support to all students. We provide a safe, trusting learning community that promotes student self-esteem and fosters an attachment to school. We develop relationships that have a positive impact on the students’ development and academic achievement. We regularly communicate with parents and encourage their involvement.

We accomplish this in the following ways:

  • Students are connected to at least one adult in the school.
  • Students have co-curricular enriching opportunities to help build additional connections with school.
  • Students meet academic standards through the teaching of adopted state and district curriculum.
  • Struggling learners receive additional time and support through a network of interventions.
  • Staff collaborates with colleagues and other professionals regarding students in support of the non-academic barriers to their learning.
  • Students are taught developmentally appropriate social and academic knowledge and skills.
  • Teachers use effective instructional practices that are challenging, engaging, relevant and fun.
  • Positive acts, including academic achievement, are recognized and reinforced school wide.
