The Mission of Hazelwood Elementary School is to establish a learning center where Together Everyone Accomplishes More through the collaborative efforts of a dynamic community of students, parents, and educators who share the responsibility of providing a creative, nurturing, and engaging learning atmosphere to help our children discover their vast potential in a global environment.

It is our endeavor to develop the following qualities:

 - To help each child master, to his greatest potential, the basic skills in all subject areas
 - To encourage appreciation of the cultural arts: music, art, and literature
 - To instill in each child a love learning and lifelong desire for learning and self-improvement
 - To provide for individual differences in aptitude, ability, interest, and maturation
 - To aid the student in building and enhancing a positive self-image
 - To provide opportunities for social interaction and group participation
 - To instill compassion and respect for all peoples, their beliefs, and cultural diversity
 - To help the student understand the sense of community and to become an active, productive citizen in the community
 - To facilitate the optimal physical development of each child and enable him to acquire desirable health practices.
