School Mission and Vision:
Our Mission Is Learning
“We will ensure that all our children will learn more today than yesterday, and more tomorrow than today.”
It is the mission of Ladera Ranch Elementary School to meet the individual needs of each student and to provide students with opportunities that promote growth so that they can reach their greatest potential - academically and socially - by embodying the principles of Respect, Responsibility, and Readiness.
We believe that students will meet their greatest potential if we function as a Professional Learning Community. We envision a school in which staff:
· unites to form a clear vision and goals
· works together collaboratively
· continually studies and implements best practices
· works as a team to monitor student progress
· demonstrates a commitment to doing what is best for each child academically and socially
