The Merriam School Mission and Vision statements express the purpose and direction of Merriam School. The mission statement defines our purpose as an educational organization. The vision statement describes our ultimate goal as a community. Merriam School was designed with many structures and strategies to support and explicitly implement the mission and vision. These structures and strategies are the infrastructure of the school.

The structures are the backbone of the school around which teachers, parents, and students are organized to facilitate teaching and learning. The structures that are designed to organize students and parents will not be changed without serious consideration, discussion, and input from the faculty and parents. Input gathering may include the following: PTO discussion, surveys, and focused community meetings.

Merriam School strategies are the methods used to implement the curriculum and communicate information:

• Curriculum Strategies
• Assessment Strategies
• Communication Strategies

These strategies are core to Merriam and they will not be changed without serious consideration, discussion, and input from the faculty and parents. Input gathering may include the following: PTO discussion, surveys, and focused community meetings.
