 Our Philosophy:
We understand that your child
comes to us with unique experiences,
interests and learning styles. Our goal
Ask Yourself: Does my child . . . .
is to truly know your child well and use
this knowledge to guide, support and
motivate him or her. We believe
that good teaching requires continual
professional development, personal
reflection and collaboration. We value
parent involvement at every level
and encourage you to partner with us
to give your child the most powerful
and joyous learning experience
possible. These are OUR students!
Behavior Expectations:
We have high expectations for
our students. We expect the
students to achieve academically to
their fullest potential. We expect
students to contribute in a positive
manner to our classroom. Here at
Endeavour we follow the Endeavour
Code:
Be Safe and Kind
Be Responsible
Be Respectful
Be Positive
Do Your Best!
