Our school touchstone was introduced many years ago at the beginning of our previous principal’s career at Etna Road. Mrs. Fitzwater and the teachers developed a “Success Statement” and a “Mission Statement” that has become a way of life here at Etna Road. We call it “The Etna Road Way.” This is the way we would like all our students and staff to behave and focus on while they are here at our school. Our touchstone is posted throughout the building and in each classroom. We recite the promise for success and the mission statement each morning during announcements. We use these statements to help guide us in making positive decisions while we are at this school. Our complete touchstone is below:
The Etna Road Way
The Etna Road Promise for Success: “I believe that I can be a good student. I believe that I can achieve. I believe that if I work hard, I will succeed. Therefore, I will work hard each day to do my best. I can learn. I will learn.”
The Etna Road Mission Statement: “Our mission as a responsible, respectful school community is to experience success and meet high academic standards.”
