Mission:

At Larimore Elementary, our purpose is to foster a passion for lifelong learning by inspiring all school community members to build skills and knowledge that will inspire ongoing success as global citizens through high expectations and innovative collaboration in an inclusive environment.

Vision:

Larimore, a STEM-focused elementary school, will be recognized for innovation, commitment to student success, and faculty and staff excellence. Our school will develop critical thinkers, leaders, and risk-takers who model an inclusive spirit with the capacity to compete globally.

Why Attendance Matters

Students who attend school regularly feel more connected to their school community and are more engaged in the learning process. As a result, they are more likely to earn better grades and test scores, and they have greater chances of graduating from high school, and better opportunities in the work force.

Poor attendance can negatively affect students socially and emotionally:

They feel out of place

They fall behind in their work

They miss important opportunities and activities

They have a hard time working with others

They don't see how school is connected to their future success

It is important to start setting good attendance habits in the child's first year in school. Preschoolers and kindergartners who are chronically absent are likely to continue to be chronically absent as they get older in school. At Larimore, we want to see every lion, every day.

Solidarity Statement

We genuinely appreciate our Board of Education's stance to address societal disparities that affect our community and America. We support the Board and join in their pledge to our community to speak firmly against racism, discrimination, and senseless violence against people, because of their differences. We will advocate for our students and provide them with cultural knowledge, creating a safe learning environment that practices social justice and anti-racism. We will acknowledge and honor all individuals' fundamental values and dignity by embracing cultural differences and remaining open to new experiences and perspectives. We challenge ourselves and support each other to make a collective impact with tools and strategies that improve access to opportunity and well-being for all children, families, and employees.

As a community, we believe in fostering a culture where everyone has a voice. Our goal is to promote racial equality and expand the curriculum to include broad and deep instruction on diverse cultures' artistic heritage. In our learning community, we seek to acknowledge and empower one another with empathy and courage. As we create inclusive, equitable educational opportunities for all, we will continue to practice racial equality and accept all cultural differences. At Larimore, we are dedicated to creating a fair learning environment that cultivates Anti-Racist practices by recognizing and celebrating diversity.
