Dover Elementary School is a community-centered learning environment that provides all of its students with a strong foundation for a lifelong interest in learning so that they may become responsible members of an every-changing society.

We believe that;

• All students can learn.
• Students learn in different ways and should be provided with a variety of instruction approaches and assessments to support their learning.
• Students learn best when they are actively engaged in the learning process.
• Self-esteem and learning are enhanced by a safe environment, positive relationships, and mutual respect among and between students and staff.
• Parents, teachers, administrators and the community share the responsibility for advancing the schools' mission.
• Celebrating differences among people will provide the opportunity for increased understanding and respect.
