Vision Statement:
Palm View School’s faculty and staff are committed to providing students exemplary instruction that
nurtures intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, and a passion for learning. We will work collaboratively
to prepare our students for success to graduate from high school on schedule, with the skills and
knowledge required for success in higher education and/or the work place.
Our vision is that every child will reach grade-level proficiency in reading, writing, mathematics and
science. We will work to insure that everyone in our school rallies around this vision; that everyone in
the school can share how we are working on our goals together; and that all of us are focused on
mutual growth and improvement.
