Welcome to Leland & Gray
Leland and Gray is a public school with the focus of enabling our students to be effective citizens promoting positive growth in their personal lives and in their local and global communities. What you hold in your hands are the guidelines to help build upon our ever growing learning community which is the core of our school.
What is a ‘learning community’ you may ask? It is a place where our safe, supportive, climate challenges everyone to engage in education that promotes excellence, respects individuality, and fosters a sense of belonging. You, as a student, have a tremendous responsibility in allowing this process to unfold. Respect for ourselves, others, and our school is fundamentally the single most important belief we can hold foremost in our minds as a member of this learning community.
During the last school year, students and the school staff participated in the development of school wide behavioral expectations of “Honesty”, “Respect”, and “Responsibility". The contents of this handbook will enable you to practice behaviors portraying positive aspects of these expectations at all times and in all locations.
Please be sure to read the contents of this handbook carefully, discuss it with your parents, classmates, and teachers. If you have any questions, or suggestions for this handbook to be a more effective document please be sure to share it with us. With the entire staff of Leland and Gray we look forward to providing each and every one of you with optimal educational opportunities.
Sincerely,
Sikander Rashid and Brian Crego
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of Leland and Gray Union Middle and High School is to engage its students in an education that promotes excellence, fosters community, and respects individuality.
STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY
We, the educators, the students, the parents, and the community members of the Leland and Gray Union Middle and High School District, share the responsibility for our school’s educational mission. We invest in this mission in order to offer our students the tools necessary for attaining their individual goals and for assuming responsible roles in a multicultural democratic society. To achieve both ends, we must prepare our students to be effective communicators, resourceful learners, and well-informed citizens who are aware of their cultural heritage. We must teach them to think creatively, flexibly, independently, and logically from a sound basis of common sense. Lastly, we must strengthen their sense of moral and intellectual integrity. To engage students in such an education, we must design a program that is challenging and stimulating, and present it in a safe and supportive environment.
Our mission outlines the philosophy which governs our style of education. We believe that each student has the capacity for excellence, and can achieve it when provided with opportunities and guided by high expectations. We believe that education should be a cooperative endeavor and that the experience of school as a community is a valuable preparation for life in society. We also believe that the individual spirit is the foundation of lasting education, and we value the richness of individual differences within our community.
