Barre Town Middle and Elementary School

We believe that the Barre Town Middle and Elementary School is the one social agency that has
direct contact with the future citizens of our country, and, as such, should draw support from all
segments of the community. Therefore, an interested citizenry will provide our children with
the best facilities, staff, and instruction that can be afforded.
A child must be accepted as a person with a desire to learn and a need to succeed if learning is
to continue. Since children learn in varied ways and at different rates, instruction and learning
opportunities should be varied, flexible, and stimulating to the learner, allowing for individual
and group learning. While acquiring skills, the student should also be relating facts to reality
and acquiring the ability to apply knowledge to new problems and situations.
Teachers and school administration should provide a stimulating learning environment and
have established objectives for each learning level. With these goals in mind, the teacher, with
parent cooperation, will seek to guide the individual student to continued achievement while
constantly evaluating progress. School directors, staff, parents, and students should reflect the
basic values that contribute to a well ordered, law abiding society.
It is the desire of the Barre Town staff and community that our school offer the finest of
elementary and middle school experiences. We are proud of our students. We are proud of our
school. We will continue to dedicate ourselves to the task of providing a safe and positive
atmosphere within our school so each student may have the opportunity to receive the best
education that we know how to provide. Within this environment we hope that each student
may become all that he or she is capable of being.
