At Thirkill School, we believe that a positive, safe, and supportive environment will encourage personal, academic, and social growth in each child.  Education is life.  Each child is unique.  We value children of all ages and esteem their worth to be immeasurable.  Example is an integral part of helping a child to learn.

• I will act in a positive and respectful manner to myself and others.

• I will grow each day, developing a life long love of learning.

• I will become culturally aware of our world.

• I will give of myself and share in responsibility at school, in my community, my country, and my world.

At Thirkill Elementary we support as our goals that every child:

• Will be challenged to perform to their potential in reading, technology, science, writing, and math.

• Learn in different ways and will be provided with educational opportunities to meet their individual learning style.

• Is accepted at their current developmental state and will be provided a learning environment to facilitate growth from that point.

• Will strive to meet and/or exceed the established state standard exit goals as stated by each grade curriculum or individualized educational program.

• Follow established district policy for conflict resolution and discipline.

• Develop life skills through the integration of Character Education Values in the regular and extended classroom.
