Introduction
The Michael J. Perkins School
is the Home of Outstanding World Learners.
We
are preparing to provide our children with an unparalleled learning
experience that broadens them as thinkers, problem-solvers, and change agents.
With solid teaching and learning, we are enhancing the creativity,
passion, and optimism each child brings to our
campus. Our goal is to educate, empower,
and elevate each young person to excellence as learners and global citizens.
Our
children flourish because we have developed a Student Success Team model where
we focus on the social, emotional, physical, and intellectual needs of the
Whole Child. Our Student Success Team
compromises of a cohort of educators, advocates, specialists, parents, and
community partners who are invested in cultivating resources and interventions
to support our children.
Historically
the Michael J. Perkins School has established itself as the cream of the crop
because of our focus on excellent teaching and family & community partnerships. With the school, every family, and community
partner committed to extending the learning past the school doors, our children
have a chance to rise to their greatest potential.
