Our Mission Statement:
Plentywood Schools in partnership with the community will nurture, support, and welcome the needs of all students. Teachers, staff, administrators, parents, students, and community members will share in the responsibility for providing a supportive, safe environment where respect for self and others is paramount.

The school and community recognize the diversity of our students and their uniquely individual intellectual, physical, social, and emotional needs. All students will be engaged in the educational process, and participate in real life learning experiences to gain knowledge, wisdom, confidence, and an appreciation and ability for lifelong learning, as they strive to maximize their individual potential.
