Vision
Springdale Elementary will strive to:
Provide a safe and positive environment where creativity is encouraged, differences are celebrated, and respect is valued.
Through a collaborative approach to learning, we will maintain high academic standards, social acceptance and student expectations for excellence, so they can contribute positively to a bilingual, multi-cultural community.
Respond to the needs of all learners, taking into account the diversity of students’ needs and abilities. Adopt a flexible and open approach that respects these differences, and fosters learning, a sense of dignity and success for all.
Build a partnership with parents in fostering their children’s education through open and honest communication working with them as partners in the school’s educational project.
Recognize that students achieve academic excellence through innovative and creative teaching practices and we encourage students to Connect, Collaborate and Curate in 21st Century Learning Context.
Protect and value a child’s worth and dignity above all else.

Why Choose Us?
Growth Mindset approaches to learning
“More than a 100% Mindset and Assessment”
Put yourself in a fixed mindset. Your ability is on the line. Can you feel everyone’s eyes on you? Can you see the instructor’s face evaluating you? Feel the tension, feel your ego bristle and waver. What else are you thinking and feeling? Now put yourself in a growth mindset. You’re a novice—that’s why you’re here. You’re here to learn. The teacher is a resource for learning. Feel the tension leave you; feel your mind open up.
