    The Heart of Maryvale💛

    Our Shared Vision for Every Child

    Maryvale Elementary is a safe, inclusive, and joyful learning community where every Cougar feels valued, empowered and challenged to grow into a curious, compassionate, collaborative, and confident leader.

    Mission

    At Maryvale Elementary, we cultivate a welcoming and equitable learning environment where Cougars develop the academic skills, character, and confidence needed to thrive. Through meaningful relationships, engaging instruction, and high expectations, we empower every Cougar to strive for excellence and contribute positively to an increasingly diverse world.

    Through our work to create an antiracist future,
    we will be using the following guiding principles from the     Center for Anti-Racist Education:

    Affirm the dignity and humanity of all people.

    • Particularly students at the center of instruction
    • Ensure that no one feels unsafe, invisible, or unheard

    Embrace historical truths.

    • Include multiple perspectives and balance stories of oppression with those of agency, resistance, and perseverance

    Develop a critical consciousness.

    • Humility and courage drive dialogues among students and educators that expose the hidden and visible ways racism manifests in individuals and societies

    Recognize race and confront racism. 

    • Explicitly address bias, racism, power, privilege, and oppression

    Create just systems.

    • Curriculum invites students to examine how policies and practices operate to impede or advance human potential
