"Successful is the person who has lived well, laughed often and loved much, who has gained the respect of children, who leaves the world a better place than they found it, who has never lacked appreciation for the earth's beauty, who never fails to look for the best in others or give the best of themselves."

The mission of Conner Street Elementary in collaboration with parents and the community is to develop confident, cooperative, responsible students.  We will dedicate our time, resources and practices to closing the achievement gap and bringing every student to mastery according to each child's unique abilities.  In order to prepare every student for success in a diverse and changing world, we will construct strong academic foundations.  We will encourage, nurture and facilitate creativity, critical thinking, technological skills, and effective communication to produce well-rounded individuals.

Our Philosophy:
We believe that: 
All children can learn.  Children are active human beings.  Children have different needs and interests.  Children are accountable for learning.  Educators and parents are accountable for facilitating learning.  No child will be left behind.
