The Pateros Public Schools believe that every
student has the right to an education, including the basic skills
necessary for a future vocation and the opportunity for personal
growth. Pateros Public Schools will attempt to promote the mental,
moral, physical and social well-being of every student.
Each student should feel successful and have
an opportunity to develop skills and attitudes necessary to
be an active and responsible citizen as well as a self-reliant
life-long learner able to cope with a changing society.
Pateros Public Schools recognize the basic
dignity, potential and self-worth of each student and will strive
to ensure a positive, caring and supportive environment that
will develop the student with self-esteem, self-discipline,
and an appreciation of the need or continuous effort. Suport
and communication among students, staff and family are recognized
as necessary elements of a quality education.
