Where CUBS Become TIGERS
Mission:
Our mission is to provide Swainsboro Elementary Students with the “Power to Succeed” by being respectful, responsible, and ready.
Vision:
Our vision is for all students to achieve academic excellence, demonstrate strong literacy skills, and exhibit positive behavior and character. We strive to create a learning environment that is student-centered, instructionally strong, and supported by families and the broader community. Through high expectations, targeted support, and meaningful engagement, we prepare students to thrive in school and beyond.
We Believe…
- Every student can achieve high standards with the right support and instruction.
- Literacy and Mathematics are the foundation for all learning and must be intentionally developed across all grade levels and subjects.
- Positive behavior and strong character are essential to a safe and productive learning environment.
- Engaged families and communities are vital partners in student success.
- High expectations, clear goals, and consistent routines support academic and behavioral growth.
- Technology should support learning and prepare students for an evolving world.
- Students learn best when they are motivated, active participants in meaningful, real-world learning.
- A respectful and inclusive school culture promotes student confidence and school pride.
- Adults must model integrity, empathy, and professionalism every day.
