3. Collaboration of the stakeholders - staff, students, families, and community - is the key to success.
4. Family engagement facilitates learning and enhances the school program both in and out of the school setting.
5. Policies and procedures should support learning and promote the safety of the students and staff.
6. Decisions will reflect what is best for the child.
