OUR MISSION
Making Success an Everyday Occurrence for all Our Students! Lighthouse Elementary is committed to providing children with exemplary instruction designed to educate the whole child so that he/she may become a productive member of the community. We nurture intellectual curiosity, collaborative and critical thinking, and effective communication. Instruction is aimed at supporting each student's ability to achieve at the highest levels. We encourage all members of the community to contribute to the support of student learning and to act as collaborative partners in the education of our children. Students are guided in the exploration of their intellectual, artistic, technological, physical, social, and character development. Our rigorous, standards-based instructional program is geared toward enabling all students to meet the challenges of the future with confidence and compassion. Through innovative scheduling within the school day, and an emphasis on creating remedial and enriching learning opportunities, we will maximize the time students receive direct instruction from highly-qualified teachers and ensure that students are learning. In line with our beliefs that all members of our community are teachers, we will also hold frequent parent workshops and family enrichment activities to engage our family partners in school life in ways that contribute directly to increasing student achievement and growth.
