Nettle Middle School

MISSION STATEMENT
The Nettle Middle School Community will nurture the development of responsible, respectful, and thoughtful citizens for life in an increasingly independent global society.  We will create safe learning environments in which students are challenged to explore, create, make decisions, and actively participate in and be accountable for their learning. We will build on our platform of professional development to create culturally relevant teaching practices as we move towards more inclusive classrooms.  We will seek out community input and guidance when making decisions that impact our students.

VISION STATEMENT
In partnership with our community, parents, guardians, and students, the Nettle Staff,  will strive to meet and exceed academic and developmental goals for all learners through a positive and consistent school climate to prepare them for college, career, and life.  We will strive to develop creative and critical thinkers, and effective communicators while fostering social responsibility in the context of academics. We will strive to be race-positive and inclusive in all aspects of education.  We are committed to treating everyone with respect and dignity through genuine, compassionate listening as we use reflective practices to grow.  We will transform Nettle Middle School into a Community School where all families work together to improve student learning and healthy development.
