Shared Decision Making
Heim Elementary is a community of parents, teachers, and students, working as a team to create a nurturing environment of respect, tolerance, and diversity while developing life-long learners. We will provide opportunities for growth and success for each student in order to reach their individual potential while building a character of integrity, honesty, perseverance, and responsibility. We value each child's path to success.
Our Operating Principles are:
- To be respectful and honest in sharing our opinions
- To honor confidentiality about individual statements
- To communicate consistently and effectively with all stakeholder groups
- To state our opinions in a positive way and suggest alternative proposals when we disagree
- To be open to new ideas and approaches
- To make children our top priority
