Vision Statement
Kings River School will provide a challenging curriculum in language arts and math where all students will meet or exceed content and performance standards established by the California Department of Education Curriculum, instruction, and assessment will be aligned with the locally adopted standards. All teachers will be given a particular curricular emphasis in reading, writing, and math instruction. "Safety nets" will be in place to ensure success for those students who experience difficulty in mastering the standards.
- Every student can and will achieve proficiency in rigorous academic standards provided by a highly effective school and highly effective teachers;
- Highly effective schools honor the work of the classroom teacher;
- All teachers and students must have multiple opportunities to apply that practice learning in a variety of settings and strategies;
- Diverse language and culture are strengths to be leveraged, not deficiencies to be re-mediated;
- Professional development activities must be driven by the quest for intellectual growth; and
- Professional development must be collegial and built upon sound principles of adult learning and sustained development over time.
