Vision:

The North Tama School District envisions a school where all students will achieve a degree of academic success which will equip and empower them to adapt to our rapidly changing society. We envision a transformed school organization characterized by new program designs and delivery systems that are founded on three basic elements: active student participation; meeting the needs of all students; and collaboration among students, parents, the school, and the community.

Our Beliefs:

We believe the home, community, and commerce need to be in partnership with the school to maximize the quality of education for all students.

We believe parents have a responsibility to involve themselves in the education of their children through cooperation with school and open, specific, and regular communication regarding students progress.

We believe the purpose of staff development is to positively impact student learning by the teacher's participation in continual, meaningful, learning experiences throughout his or her career.

We believe that a clean, safe, and physically comfortable learning environment, where the teacher serves as a facilitator, promotes student learning.

We believe students should be given the opportunities to learn by incorporating a variety of interesting, stimulating, challenging and rewarding methods, materials, and activities into the learning environment.

We believe in equality and equity in our educational programs and the importance of a diverse student population to understand people's differences (race, national origin, gender, disability, age, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, or marital status)

We believe students are valued unique individuals who develop and learn at different rates, learn in different ways, and learn better by active participation in their own learning.

We believe student learning is opitimized when teachers set standards and expectations, integrate developmentally appropriate and meaningful learning activities into the curriculum, and continually assess learning in a variety of ways.

We believe when the skills mastered in the areas of technology, character education, and career development are integrated into the curriculum, it provides the foundation for life-long learners.
