To Parents, Guardians, and Friends:

         The function of education is both social and individual.  Socially, education
seeks to help people become effective members of society.  Individually, education provides skills that enable a person to lead a productive, satisfying 
life and respond to new experiences.

         Education is the human right of all children.  Education should prepare children for political, social, and economic life.  Education should continue throughout their lives and ensure comprehensive, all-around development.  
The aim of education, therefore, should be the creation of a system which makes it possible for all children to develop commensurate with their potential into 
well-rounded, well-informed citizens who are able to service and adapt to an ever-changing society and world.

         The goal of the Instructional Office, therefore, is to help create the systems, processes, and services that will enable staff to accommodate and increase student learning and impact instructional performance.
