MISSION AND VISION
Mission Statement:
At PES, our mission is to educate and empower the whole child by fostering a safe, inclusive, and caring environment. We are committed to developing students who are confident, compassionate, and resilient through high-quality instruction, social-emotional learning, and strong community partnerships. Together, we build a school where all students thrive—mind, heart, and spirit.
Vision:
PES envisions a school where every child feels safe, loved, and inspired to grow—academically, socially, and emotionally. We strive to be a nurturing community of learners and leaders, where students, staff, and families work together to build a foundation for lifelong success.
Belief Statements:
Every child matters. We believe in nurturing the whole child—socially, emotionally, and academically—because learning cannot thrive without emotional safety and support.
Relationships are foundational. We believe that genuine, trusting relationships between staff, students, and families create a climate where everyone feels seen, valued, and empowered to grow.
Student well-being comes first. We believe that a child's mental and emotional health is just as important as their academic achievement.
We are stronger together. We believe in teamwork, collaboration, and a family-like culture where every staff member supports one another for the benefit of our students.
Growth is ongoing. We believe that both students and educators should be lifelong learners who reflect, adapt, and strive to improve.
All students can learn and succeed. We believe in high expectations, equity, and personalized support to ensure every student achieves their full potential.
Our school is the heart of the community. We believe in working closely with families and the wider community to support every child inside and outside of the classroom.
