Burkeville ISD Mission Statement: Burkeville ISD is committed to provide opportunities for all students to reach their potential in acquiring and using knowledge and skills for the purpose of making appropriate decisions, pursuing worthwhile personal goals and contributing positively to society.
The District is dedicated to helping each student develop personal knowledge, skills, and competence, according to their abilities, and to learning behavior patterns that will make each a responsible member of society. An integral part of the basic curriculum shall include: citizenship and political understanding; physical and environmental health habits; appreciation of culture, language, and life diversities; and competence in personal and social relations. The learning process should take into consideration the personal goals of every student and should be designed so that each can achieve the educational standards of the system and be encouraged to remain in school until ready for a post-high school career. The District’s program is established to measure the performance of the school system in terms of the competence of its staff, the performance of its pupils, and the efficiency of its structure and process. This accountability can only be done by continuous planning and evaluation.
NEWTON INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT MISSION STATEMENT: We believe that the performance of EACH student can be accelerated as a result of dedicated collaborative planning by students, parents, teachers, administrators, and business-community representatives. Data-driven decisions based on disaggregated data, reflected by the Academic Excellence Indicator System, and input from District and Campus Improvement Committees, parents, community and business will guide the teaching and learning processes that take place on each campus.
