Vision
In order for Narragansett Pier School to continue its journey as a high performing middle school, it must have a clear sense of the goals it seeks to reach, the students and community it serves, and the contributions that all must make in order to achieve this vision. As a result, the NPS community will:

  • treat all people with respect, and foster a climate of appreciation for diversity.
  • be a place where learning is the focus, and there are high expectations for all learners.
  • be a place of continual change and evolution as we strive to help all students learn and grow as responsible citizens of our community.
  • be a place where communication is valued and supported as a way to ensure cohesiveness and continual focus on our mission and goals.
  • be a place to grow leaders among all groups in the community.
  • maintain a clean, safe, and healthy environment through good maintenance, a clear health and wellness policy, and constant vigilance with regard to security issues.
  • celebrate and value the success of its community members.

Students
An exemplary school recognizes the importance of each individual student. As a result, each student understands that he or she is an important and valued member of the community. Therefore, all students will:

  • be active members of the community and develop a sense of belonging through participation in the life of the school.
  • be active participants in a variety of rich educational experiences.
  • meet or exceed high academic expectations.

  • provide notification of school events, programs, testing results, academic progress or concerns.
