The mission of James Monroe Middle School is to guide students to become lifelong learners with skills, knowledge, attitudes and virtues to benefit themselves and society in an ever-changing world.

We believe:

• Student learning is our chief priority.

  
  

• Educating students is the shared responsibility of students, staff, parents/guardians and community members.

  
  

• Students thrive in a safe environment of openness and trust, where inquiry is encouraged and mistakes are considered opportunities for learning.

  
  

• Each student is a valued individual with unique physical, social, emotional and intellectual needs.

  
  

• Students learn in different ways and need a variety of teaching methods to support their learning.

  
  

• A student's self-worth is enhanced by positive relationships and mutual respect among students, staff, parents/guardians and community members.

  
  

• Continuous school-wide improvement is necessary in order for our students to become confident lifelong learners and productive citizens.
