Mission
Statement
The Lakeland Central School District accepts the challenge of preparing
students for a rapidly changing world, and provides the opportunity
for all students to learn and succeed. We encourage, promote and
develop lifelong learning and educational excellence in a safe,
secure, student-centered environment.
Our practices and policies are shaped by mutual respect, open and
honest communication, ethical behavior, and personal responsibility.
Vision Statement
In
order to be knowledgeable and productive members of our rapidly advancing
technological world, the Lakeland Central School District is committed
to the infusion of technology into all instructional and administrative
programs. We recognize that technology must be a priority because it
enhances
and transforms our educational system and empowers all learners - both
students and staff.In the classroom, technology is a tool that improves
student motivation and learning,
while providing necessary skills for
meeting new demands that students will face upon graduation. For teachers,
technology provides new tools for personal productivity. But more importantly,
it encourages instruction that accommodates different learning styles,
addresses critical thinking skills and problem solving and enables
new types of learning that are collaborative and global. The school
district of today looks very different from yesterday’s.
Tomorrow’s will look different still.
Lakeland must encourage and support new initiatives and think
innovatively in order to keep pace and provide a dynamic environment
for our learners.
