“It’s All About Our Kids”

Learning is our fundamental purpose.

For every student, in every classroom, at

every school.

We are preparing every student for college

and career.

We are a Professional Learning

Community.

School Vision

Dougherty Elementary School provides a

safe, positive learning environment that

develops self-motivated, independent, and

enthusiastic learners who strive toward

academic excellence, social responsibility,

and personal growth. The goal of the

faculty, staff, and parents is to provide a

program designed to meet the academic,

social, emotional, and physical needs of

each of our students.

Academic Goals Dougherty is committed to differentiating

instruction to ensure that every student will

achieve.

As a staff and professional learning community

we will be using collaboration time and staff

meetings to develop strategies to reach every

student and make instruction not just rigorous

but engaging.

Dougherty will promote the social and emotional

well-being of all students and celebrate the rich

diversity of our community.
