"A Child-Centered Community of Learners"

School Mission

The mission of Fern Creek Elementary is to develop caring, competent, cooperative and confident citizens of the world.

School Vision

Fern Creek Elementary's vision is to provide a safe, nurturing academic community where all members are empowered to achieve their highest potential. 

School Core Beliefs

• Students will receive standards based instruction that is rigorous, intentional and culturally responsive.

• Opportunities will be given for students to showcase skills and talents through personalized learning opportunities.

• All members of Fern Creek Elementary's Community are learners and will continually engage in new learning. 

• All members of the Fern Creek Elementary Community will receive social, emotional and health-related support.

Each new school year brings opportunities for academic growth and growth in all areas of development. Although children must be knowledgeable when they graduate, they must also be healthy, engaged, responsible, and caring people.

At this school we see that:

• Everyone is a leader.

• Everyone has genius.

• Change starts with me.

• We empower students to lead their own learning.

• Educators and families partner to develop the whole person.

Not only do these paradigms apply to your student, they apply to all of us!

Leader in Me provides our school with the vision and language to lead the school in a way that addresses all areas of development. As each child discovers and develops their unique gifts and talents, they are given opportunities to lead. As leaders, they become active, engaged partners in their own education, and their self-confidence, responsibility, and initiative grows. The children quickly understand the benefits of different gifts and talents; they learn to listen to new ideas, work together to achieve results, and motivate one another to be the best.

We hope your school enjoys sharing these new opportunities. Together, we will see each child grow throughout the year.
