The mission of E.M. Baker Elementary School is to provide a safe and nurturing environment that fosters the cognitive, social, and personal development of each child and adult in our school community. We encourage our members to recognize their unique roles in our global society by valuing diversity, respecting others, working collaboratively, and accepting responsibility for themselves and our world.

• We seek to develop the skills, the willingness, and the desire to think creatively in order to adapt and persevere through life’s challenges.

• We inspire children to have a passion for learning and to construct meaning from the knowledge they acquire.

• We strive to cultivate, in each member, a feeling of belonging and a sense of significance. We cherish the development of a lifelong spirit of inquiry, wonder, and play.
