LONG BEACH ELEMENTARY IS A SAFE, RESPECTFUL, AND INVITING PLACE Students arrive at our school with different abilities and
experiences. Some are excited, some are nervous, some are shy, some are worried, some are confident, but all have basic needs to be respected, safe, and welcomed.
As students approach the school doors, they find an adult welcoming them into the building with a smile and a kind word. At our school, you will find students treating each other with respect. At our school, smiles are the rule.
We, as a school, realize students come from different backgrounds and we strive to fulfill individual needs. We have created an environment to help students feel safe, respected, and welcome everyday. This welcoming attitude permeates the entire staff at Long Beach Elementary.

WHERE LEARNING IS CHALLENGING AND ENGAGING… In a challenging and engaging learning environment, all
school community members are able to visualize and believe in each student’s potential. Students take ownership of their learning and behavior while being recognized as individuals with unique perspectives and valid contributions.
Curriculum is diversified and will include arts, technology and real world experiences and applications.
Reciprocal relationships are built between students and staff so students feel motivated to succeed and safe to take risks.
Instruction is differentiated to provide all students with challenging yet attainable activities, assignments and goals.

WHERE WE SET HIGH STANDARDS AND CELEBRATE OUR ACHIEVEMENTS.
Because our society relies heavily on high levels of education, setting high standards is imperative to prepare students to lead productive lives. Values such as equality and democracy are hard to sustain without highly educated citizens. Therefore, students will learn to function successfully on a daily basis and build confidence in their abilities.
We set high standards to prepare students to meet daily challenges as well as state academic standards. Students need to be challenged to think critically in order to function in a complex world.
Teachers must also set high standards for themselves and continue to develop and improve their skills. Our personal investment in the student’s lives gives us a high level of satisfaction when we see students reach their goals.
We reward students for their accomplishments in meaningful ways and celebrate those achievements through various programs such as: eagle bucks, root beer floats for eagle buck drawing , math facts in a flash certificates, eagle awards, AR awards, Young Authors, Top of the Crop, Book of Excellence, hurray cards, principal’s choice art show, class compliments, science fair awards, mental math awards, and sixth grade graduation.

WHERE WE PREPARE STUDENTS TO LIVE SUCCESSFUL LIVES AS STEWARDS OF THEIR WORLD.
Long Beach School is a place where students and their families are valued as contributing members of our community. We believe that students become successful citizens by learning to give of themselves and share willingly with others.
We believe that students must learn to be satisfied and happily-engaged caretakers of themselves, their families and peers, their community, and their world—no matter where that may be. Successful people respect themselves and others, behaving with empathy and kindness while striving to reach high standards of personal character and academic achievement. Good stewards respect diversity and differences while maintaining personal values and beliefs.
At Long Beach School we are committed to teaching to the whole child. This means developing our students’ character, their work ethic, and their sense of purpose and enjoyment in life.
PREPARE STUDENTS TO LIVE SUCCESSFUL LIVES AS STEWARDS OF THEIR WORLD
