Beliefs

We the staff at Glade Spring Middle School believe that:

·       each student is a valued, unique individual with different physical, social, emotional, and intellectual needs

·       all students can learn

·       a safe and physically comfortable environment promotes student learning

·       each student should be given the opportunity to explore and apply as many areas of learning as scheduling allows

·       instructional practices should accommodate the different learning styles of the students

·       self-respect and respect for others are high priorities and should be incorporated into the curriculum

·       the school staff, parents, students, and community should share the responsibility and benefits of the total school program
