"We Care, We Share, We Dare" - these three characteristics must be evident in order to create an exemplary school which develops strong traditions and prides itself on offering children a safe, secure and challenging learning environment.

Staff members at Coyote Creek School provide a learning environment which is conducive to developing the unique intellectual, social, physical and emotional potential of each child. They believe all children can learn and they are responsive to the unique learning styles of every child.

This school is a place where teachers reflect upon their own teaching practices for the purpose of professional growth and the continued enhancement of the quality of instruction. Teachers frequently visit colleagues' classrooms and in turn allow colleagues to visit their rooms.

Coyote Creek's school vision is built upon the principle of the school as a community of learners and leaders. Grade level teachers work as collaborative teams when planning curriculum; they design and implement an academic program that is consistent throughout their grade level. Teachers individually enhance the program with their own "artistic flair".

An essential component of the school vision is the school/community connection. We view parents as friends and colleagues and together we celebrate the unique diversity in our community. Parents have played a critical role in developing an outstanding school where children are successful and flourishing.

Coyote Creek School is a place where every child can grow and every teacher can make a difference.
