Mission Statement

Purpose

The Wallingford School Board believes that a sound statement of purpose, accompanied by goal statements, is essential in helping to provide directions for the school as it attempts to maintain an emphasis on quality education. As we work to attain this purpose, we much continually reach for higher standards, and not become complacent with accepting what is minimal, easy, or mandated. Although resources are always limited, we need to utilize these to the fullest extent possible, and to seek the support of the larger community in endorsing our quest for quality.

Statement

The Wallingford school system believes that all children within our community are entitled to attend and receive benefit from the services it provides. All children have the capacity to learn. We recognize that children learn in different ways and according to their unique developmental time table. It is the school’s responsibility to tap this capacity and to provide the resources, which will promote each student’s development to his/her potential.
