Comprehensive Progress Report

Mission:
Lakeview Mission: At Lakeview School, we are committed to empowering and enhancing students by utilizing an individualized approach that includes
rigorous academics, student support services, and a safe, structured setting in an effort to assist students in achieving their future goals.

Durham Public Schools Mission: In collaboration with our community and parents, the mission of Durham Public Schools is to provide all students with an
outstanding education that motivates them to reach their full potential and enables them to discover their interests and talents, pursue their goals and
dreams, and succeed in college, in the workforce and as engaged citizen.
 Lakeview Vision: Our vision at Lakeview School is to inspire students to reach their full potential while providing a safe and positive learning environment
that will prepare students to transition to their base school, move on to college, or into the workforce as productive citizens.

Durham Public Schools Vision: The Durham community cherishes its children, and the Durham Public Schools are the daily expression of that care. We share
a vision of our schools where every child succeeds. This vision includes schools so enticing that students want to attend every day, where they find a safe,
orderly and culturally diverse environment for learning that nurtures and strengthens the whole child—body and mind. We provide an environment that
teaches students to value all people and treat them with respect. In these schools, our students are fully engaged in a rigorous, enriched curriculum, and
they graduate with the thinking skills, creativity, and technological know-how to meet the demands of post-secondary education and employment. Our
graduates embrace ongoing learning as a way of life. They are committed to the highest values of active democratic citizenship and they are ready to lead.
Our vision includes teachers who are caring, highly qualified and who aspire to work at the peak of their profession. We hire and retain the best—and the
best teachers want to work in Durham Public Schools because they receive the salaries, support, respect and professional training they need to deliver
superior, student-centered classroom instruction. While improving students’ test scores is critical to the work of our teachers, our vision encompasses so
Vision: much more. Our schools are places where our children are excited to learn, where they find waiting for them at the door of every classroom a teacher who
cares for them, instructs them at the highest level and inspires them to reach their full potential. Our vision includes administrators who are themselves
visionary leaders, who lead with high student achievement at the core of every decision they make. It includes all staff members working hand-in-hand with
teachers and administrators to meet the needs of every child. Parents choose to send their children to Durham Public Schools, and we welcome the
participation of our families. Our vision includes open and honest communication with families. We empower our families to be their children’s best first
teachers and to share their expertise. Our vision includes children with loving families who nourish them, who send them to school with a warm smile every
morning, who read to them each night. We recognize that students succeed because families, schools, and community members work together. We invite
the support of our entire community. Our vision for Durham’s children will become real only when each and every one of them has decent housing and
excellent health care and a safe neighborhood—when the entire community comes together around the needs of every family and every child. This is our
vision. It is a daily challenge to each of us working in Durham Public Schools, and it is a call to our community to join in this difficult but glorious work.
