Mission
Our school community mission is to provide educational programs with equity for all, including diverse learners and English learners. The school community seeks to cultivate students’ skills in all academic areas through our instructional programs aligned to the Illinois Learning Standards, inclusive of the Social and Emotional Learning Standards. We encourage our students to be creative, analytical thinkers, clear writers, and effective communicators. All students will develop into adults who value and promote education and who contribute generously to our society.
Vision
The Everett McKinley Dirksen Elementary School’s vision is to provide a climate and culture where all of our students have access to learning throughout the school day through personalized instruction. Within this supportive environment, students will take increasing responsibility for their own learning as they progress from
Pre-K to 8th grade.
