Our Mission

The mission of our school community is to educate, motivate and inspire all students to reach their full potential to become successful adults, and to pursue their dreams. 

The Andrews Elementary staff is a highly motivated, trained and professional staff. It is committed to continual improvement toward excellence. We are proud of the work we do.

Andrews Elementary Belief Statement

We believe we must continue to provide an excellent program that addresses the educational needs of all students in a safe and supportive environment.

We believe the collaboration between home, the school district, and the community has a direct correlation to the quality of the educational system and the experience of each student.

Responsibility, a necessary skill, is learned through consistent accountability, expectations, opportunities, and examples.

Development of skills and perspectives that encourage lifelong learning will increase life and career choices.

All students are held accountable for their learning academically and behaviorally by tracking their success and areas of improvement.

We believe all students can maximize their learning through the implementation of technology choices and prepare them for the future.
