At Elder’s Mills, we believe in the pursuit of optimism.  We believe that the sky is not the limit.  We take the initiative  to care and respect  ourselves, our school and our community.  We take courage in showing integrity  and fairness  by using kind words, deeds and actions while listening thoughtfully to our peers, teachers, parents and the community.  We stand up in honesty  for ourselves and others, and take responsibility  for our own behaviour and learning.  As a diverse community, we believe in perseverance  under all circumstances of learning and working together.  We believe in acting with compassion  and believe in the inclusiveness  of everyone.  This is how we are accountable even when others are not watching. 

These are our Guiding Principles.
