We believe that each student is unique and has the ability and right to find success at school. We seek to develop the total child; socially, physically and academically.

Clara Barton Elementary will promote self-esteem in an environment whereby each child has the opportunity to excel and is eager to learn.

Barton students will develop their maximum potential in a partnership with their parents, the Barton educational staff, and members of the community.

Assessment will be ongoing; staff and parents will communicate student progress on a regular basis.

Relationships in a nurturing environment are an important factor in the success of our school.

Together as a community we will seek to continuously improve our children's educational experience.

On-going high expectations for student achievement within a friendly, caring learning community.

No child will be left behind as we strive for excellence by utilizing a variety of strategies, materials and educational techniques, maximizing each student's learning potential.
