Purpose

The purpose of Augusta Circle is to prepare students to be anything they want to be in the future.

Mission

The mission of Augusta Circle Elementary School is to provide a quality educational environment, in cooperation with the home and community that fosters learning and prepares students for participation in our democratic and multicultural society.

Vision

When our vision for Augusta Circle is implemented, all students will be proficient in all state learning standards. The students, faculty, and community will have worked together so that each student is prepared to face challenges of everyday life. Students will be learning context in meaningful ways through hands-on and real-world experiences. Teachers will reach out to meet the diverse needs of students through a variety of strategies. Partnerships with parents, businesses, and the community will have played a major role in student learning. All students will be encouraged to do their best, and they will understand that they are supposed to be learning at a high level. Teachers will work together, communicate often about student learning, and implement a continuum of learning that makes sense for all students. Students will become responsible, productive citizens.
