Mission Statement

Healthy environment

No soft drinks in vending machine Tracy with the breakfast cart

The basic needs of the students are attended as the first priority. Only after the students have eaten can

they function as a learning individual. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs lists sleep, shelter, and regular food as the most important physiological need.

Once these needs are met, the next step in the hierarchy is to consider safety. Elizabeth Wyn Wood creates a safe

environment in various ways.

Safety

Lit hallways, security mirrors, murals that promote equality and most importantly open, welcoming

classroom doors are the first signs of safety.The eastern wing with open classroom doors The western wing with murals

Once safety is addressed, the student learning can begin.

One of the most important ingredients of a successful school is the recognition of

student achievement. Elizabeth Wyn Wood displays success with pride.

level of learning takes place.

crisis may seem to overcome the individual.
