Vision

The vision at Shaffer Elementary School is to create a school where family, staff, and the community work together to empower students to be successful, well-rounded, academically focused, global thinkers.

Values and Beliefs

We believe:

- Children are our first priority.

- Students should be encouraged to become lifelong learners and problem solvers.

- Teaching should be innovative and creative in order to meet the unique needs and interests of students.

- All students are capable of learning and are responsible and accountable for their academic performance and for their own behavior.

- Students’ learning, attendance, and behavior improve when they are actively engaged in meaningful work.

- Students learn best in a safe, secure, and respectful environment.

- Schools must have a consistent discipline program, which fosters student self-discipline and teaches and models expected behaviors.

- Education is a shared responsibility. It is a partnership between home, school, and community.
