    Circle of Responsibility
    We believe that the years in which our students attend Kingsley are critical because they are developing the foundational skills and knowledge that will prepare them for secondary school and beyond. In this context, we each have an important role to play: 
     
    Students
    We expect students to come to school every day with an attitude of enthusiasm toward learning, a willingness to take risks, respect toward others and a sense of responsibility regarding their role as members of the school community.
     
    Staff
    We expect teachers/staff to honor student learning differences while maintaining high expectations for all students. School leadership and staff will create an environment and promote practices that welcome and encourage participation from and communication with all families and the broader community.
    Parents
    We expect parents to instill and reinforce the value of education, set high expectations for their child’s achievement and behavior, stay informed and develop supportive and collaborative relationships with teachers/staff that promote learning.
     
    Community
    We expect our Evanston community partners to work collaboratively with the school, sharing resources, maintaining open communication, and providing opportunities that help expand learning outside of the classroom.
