MISSION

     The Lafayette County School District believes that all children can learn.  Our mission is to provide a quality education.  All students will be required to spend sufficient amounts of time on tasks to master skills.

      Materials, supplies, and support services will be provided to ensure the understanding and mastery of these objectives.  Requirements regarding testing, grading, promotion, retention, and graduation are based upon student performance of district specifications.  As the provision of quality, formal education is the primary function of the school district.  All other activities are dedicated to be supportive of the education efforts.

     All employees of the school district are considered to be essential to achieving the school district’s mission.  A staff evaluation and personnel development program is available to help individuals accomplish the job for which each is employed.  Such effort should assure the orderly, healthy and safe atmosphere when pupils are in the care of the school district.  We will work toward building a more effective school each year.
