At Berewick we believe...

All children can learn with the rights sup-ports and high expectations.

Children learn best when they are actively engaged in a safe and caring environment. An environment that values diversity, risk-taking, and collaboration.

All children deserve a quality education in which individual needs are met, exceeded, and supported through differentiated, data driven instruction

That education is the foundation of a demo-cratic society where all citizens are contributors to our shared future

That a positive behavior intervention sup-port framework teaches and validates re-spectful, safe behavior for all

Open communication between staff, stu-dents, and parents foster connections critical to the overall success of all students.

We are a family that works together to bring about the success of all children at Bere-wick

That the collective is more powerful than the individual; we teach our students that col-laboration, creativity, critical thinking are 21st century skills that are necessary for success
