Shoreview Mission and Vision
Our Mission is to educate all to be the leaders of their lives.
Our Vision is to work together to provide a safe learning environment that achieves excellence.
Climate
Through their PBIS program, Shoreview has seen positive results in building a positive climate around the school. With events like their Gold Medal Parade, Best Behavior Bonus & VIP Lunch and programs like Morning Meetings, the Faculty & Staff make sure that every student receives Tier 1 supports. Students who may need Tier 2 or Tier 3 support work with mentors in a Check-in, Check-out program and work with professionals to develop social-emotional wellness skills.
Since October, Shoreview has seen a consistent decrease in the number of referrals issued to students.
Academics
Shoreview prides itself on Academic Excellence. Through Explicit Instruction, Aplify CKLA, Writing Revolution and Math and Science instruction, students work hard to grow academically, while making learning fun. Encore teachers work with classroom teachers to deliver consistent content through differentiated instruction.
Shoreview has also invested in preparing students for college and future careers. School Counselor Mr. Cox works with students to complete lessons and activities that expose them to relevant college, university, trade, career and military options based on their individual personalities, knowledge and skills.
Community
