Earn. Celebrate. Grow.
Our team at CARMEN Middle School believes that every student holds the power to become his or her dream. We believe that it is our personal responsibility to build a solid foundation for our students, an inspiring and fun work environment for our school team, and fulfill our promise to families, community, and district. As stated in our CARMEN mission, our goal is to serve by…
Graduating all students as critical thinkers and self-directed learners who are prepared for success in college, meaningful careers, community involvement, and family life.
We will ensure transformational change this year by setting a new foundation for all Middle School scholars in grades 6 & 7 so that they will succeed and thrive in their CARMEN High School experience and beyond.
Together, we will internalize what it means to EARN. CELEBRATE. GROW. and will model these values to build partnerships and empower our students to use these tools themselves. When all chambers of our “heart” (students, families and community, teachers, school site staff, administration, and school team) are working harmoniously, we ensure a strong operating system for learning and for increased opportunities in life. Just like a pumping heart, we channel energy into each other, and learn from meaningful interactions and experiences. We energize each other and move to the same rhythm…just like a beating heart. When we Earn. Celebrate. Grow., we funnel our energy into using data, both qualitative and quantitative, to measure academic progress and assess culture. Only by having a dual lens will we ensure our happy, healthy hearts are beating together towards the same mission. When we experience challenges, we don’t go into cardiac arrest, but instead, use strategies and build habits that help us learn from our trials. We can serve as lifelines for each other when we are learning something new. Together, we march to the beat of a solid routine with high expectations. It is our mission to create a culture of joy together and enjoy the time we work together.
Team Earn. Celebrate. Grow. will operate by keeping our three driving principles at the core of our work together:
Earn.
We earn respect, achievement, and fun with hard work and practice.
Celebrate.
We palpitate joy by celebrating each other’s success, and our own success, too. We focus on the positive.
Grow.
We are always growing. We support, encourage, and push ourselves and our teammates to do so.
In order to achieve our goals this year and maintain a healthy ECG rating, CARMEN Middle School scholars will focus on developing habits that ensure they are ready to engage in rigorous and exciting curriculum.
