Mission Statement
Sunset Park Avenues Elementary School is dedicated to the education and development of each child as they become leaders in their academic and personal lives. Learning in an environment that emphasizes inquiry and exploration. Our children will grow to be curious about their world, think creatively and flexibly about problems and solutions. Our children will have the confidence to make things happen for themselves and their world. Our children will graduate with the ability to use language to connect to the wealth of cultures in our communities and to be advocates for themselves, their communities, and with those who cannot advocate for themselves.
Vision
At Sunset Park Avenues, our students will experience an education that allows for each unique individual to thrive - academically, socially, and emotionally by uplifting the cultures & voices of our students and families. Learning through a curriculum based in exploration, independent practice and rooted in the practice of addressing inequity and oppression head-on. With the support of expert educators, our students will be curious about their world, think creatively and critically about problems and solutions, and have the confidence and resilience to enact change.
