The Mission of Three Rivers Community Schools is to educate, motivate and inspire all students to reach their full potential, to become successful adults, and to pursue their dreams.

Philosophy

We are committed to providing a safe environment where every child can grow and learn. We recognize that every child is unique and needs an enriched, stimulating environment in which to explore and grow. In partnership with parents, we strive to promote a quest of discovery in the minds of our children. The Norton School community will assist students to become life-long learners who are compassionate, productive citizens.

Achievements

• Rigorous Academic Curriculum:  Our curriculum is continuously being refined to best meet state content standards. We strive to keep parents well informed of their students’ progress.
• Student Recognition: Our student recognition program in which staff recognize student efforts in academics, attendance, achievement and effort on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.
• Student Council: Representatives from three grade levels meet with an advisor every other week to discuss students’ concerns, plan school-wide projects and events, and provide a forum for student input when making decisions for the student body.
• Active Parent Involvement: Volunteering in classrooms, helping on NWC projects, attending conferences, serving on committees, taking part in school/family activities are all opportunities for parents to be part of their child’s education.
• Student Assistance Program: Focusing on educational concerns and improving the quality of learning within the school environment, our team of professionals meets every other week to discuss student needs. The intent of the program is to provide a framework for assisting students experiencing academic, social, behavioral or emotional problems by enlisting the support and involvement of all Norton Staff members.
• Commitment to Learning Healthy Habits: Recognizing that our children need more than reading and writing skills to succeed in life, Norton’s students and staff are committed to developing habits for healthy bodies and minds. Learning about healthy eating, exercise and good decision-making, our students will learn habits that will be useful their entire life.
