Vision

The Morningside Elementary School community has high expectations for excellence.  Teachers, staff, parents, students, and the community will work together to foster an environment where students are excited about learning and work at the peak of their abilities.  We believe that learning is a lifelong process, one in which all the stakeholders are fully committed.  We will provide an environment that is child-centered, maintaining a balance between the cognitive and affective domains seeking to develop the whole child.  As a community rich in diversity, we take pride in and celebrate our uniqueness.  We expect students to take responsibility for their actions, respect one another, and make ethical choices.  We challenge our children to become critical and creative thinkers and problem-solvers who can work both independently and collaboratively using their failures as learning tools as they prepare to become productive citizens.

Mission

The mission of Morningside Elementary School is to achieve academic excellence in a caring, safe, and healthy environment.  The stakeholders deem that all students benefit from a program in which mathematics, science, social studies, reading, speaking, and writing in the English language are stressed and incorporated with a strong technology component.  We emphasize self-worth by valuing our students as individuals and respecting their different cultures.  We will provide a differentiated approach to instruction and a focus on literacy that promotes high achievement.  We recognize that children have various learning styles, and we are committed to multiple teaching methods to ensure their academic success.  Through an integration of the Sunshine State Standards and the use of the best instructional practices, an arena is created that stimulates, challenges, and guides students to their goals.  We strive to unite with parents and community members to form a strong fellowship that will help us achieve success.  We endeavor to provide a quality education for each student in a school that adapts to the changing environment.
