As a school community writing a statement on the tragedy of our
current events was not something that we took lightly because in
doing so, we understand that we have to put the weight and work
behind those words to better our practice and do the work
necessary for our community of learners.
We realize internet / Wi-Fi connectivity at home will be
essential to the distance learning experience. More information
for free and affordable internet service for our community can be

Our school’s purpose can be narrowed to these beliefs, “We Lead,
We Innovate, We Empower and We Care”. It is through our
focus on caring that we’ve intentionally tried to design a
culture where all learners, families, staff and community members
feel safe, valued and supported. Our school community is
accepting of everyone and we strive to partner with families
and community organizations to continue to provide a safe
place for learning for all. #WeAreLocomotives
I want to take a moment to reflect with you. I am
excited to have the opportunity to partner with you in continuing
our journey in building a STEAM school from the ground up.
