A Great Place to Be
Mills Haven Elementary School, through the collaboration of staff, parents, guardians, and students, provides a safe and positive learning environment for diverse students as they grow academically, emotionally, and socially.
Children learn best when they:
- feel safe, heard, and cared for
- experience routines, but are confident to experiment with appropriate risk-taking
- are engaged, mindful problem solvers and critical thinkers
- work in a collaborative environment where all opinions are considered
- cooperate and respect each other
- understand expectations
- find meaning and worth in the work they do
- understand the importance of people working towards the common good of the school and community
- consider themselves lifelong learners, while developing new learning strategies and techniques that best suit their individual needs
- who know how they learn best while having a variety of different learning experiences
- have goals, aspirations and an awareness that perseverance can help them achieve
