School Mission:
Educating and inspiring students for success
School Vision:
100% Student Success
Welcome all of you to the Stingray family! It is our desire to provide a high quality education for each of our students, and we enjoy working with all of our families to maintain high expectations for our students and staff. Sexton Elementary strives to create a safe and positive learning environment.
Our guidelines for success are the following:
- Respect
- Act Responsibility
- Your Best is Expected
- Self-Control
Every week, students have the opportunity to earn a no-uniform day by displaying these qualities. We believe in consequences for our behavior (both positive and corrective) and have seen a drastic drop in our discipline referrals. Our goal is to work as a team to learn more, support each other and make school a positive place for all students, staff, parents and our community.
Please take a few minutes to browse our website and get to know us a little. If I can assist in any way, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
