Banner’s Pledge for Excellence
Mission

 Technologically capable creators
Values and Beliefs
We believe that:
 While all children can learn, they learn at different rates and in different ways.
 High expectations and an engaging, innovative, technological learning environment are
critical to the learning success of all students.
 Students must take responsibility for their own learning and achievement.
 Effective collaboration requires trust, mutual respect, open, and honest communication.
 District policies are necessary to ensure equitable and consistent implementation of
expectations.
 Goals must be specific, measurable, attainable, results-oriented, and time-bound.
 Continual stakeholder feedback guides improvement.
