Dear Perris Community, Families, Staff, and Students,
As we welcome you back to a new school year, my heart swells with excitement for the incredible journey we are about to undertake together. At Perris Elementary School District, our mission is to cultivate a supportive community that fosters belonging, inspires leadership, and ensures academic and personal success for every student. Our mission is deeply rooted in the following core values, which can act as a guide for every action and decision we make on behalf of our community, families, students and staff.
Everyone Belongs is the foundation of our shared work together. We are dedicated to creating our shared identity through Community, where each individual feels a strong connection to one another. By building our foundation on Trust, we ensure that relationships are at the core, fostering a safe and respectful environment for all. We find Joy in celebrating the individual and collective achievements we make together, making every milestone a shared triumph. These values remind us that each of us has a responsibility to our community. We are committed to creating spaces where people can come together, share their unique perspectives, and celebrate our diverse community.
Everyone Leads reflects our commitment to nurturing leaders in every corner of our district. We foster teamwork through Collaboration, believing that we are stronger together. We encourage the Courage to do the right thing, even when it’s difficult, embodying bravery and virtue in our daily actions. By promoting curiosity through Innovation, we inspire creative thinking and a willingness to explore and try new ideas. These values empower us to take initiative, make meaningful contributions, and lead with integrity and purpose. Our goal is to inspire everyone to step into their leadership power, innovate and work together to create meaningful change.
Everyone Succeeds is our unwavering promise that every student will have the opportunity to achieve at their VERY best. We emphasize Persistence, uplifting a determined spirit that strives toward goals with unwavering resolve. Our strong enthusiasm for education and continued growth fuels our Passion for helping each student maximize their strengths, allowing for their brilliance to shine. We value Adaptability, knowing that being flexible and open to change is essential for thriving in an ever-evolving world around us. These values guide us as we work tirelessly to support each student’s journey to personal and academic success.
As we embark on this new academic year, let us embody these core values in everything we do and desire to become. Together, we will foster these essentials of our community where everyone feels they belong, everyone is encouraged to lead, and everyone has the opportunity to succeed. I am confident that with our shared commitment to our children's success and passion for this work together, that this year will be filled with exponential growth and endless joy for each and everyone of us.
Welcome back to a year of belonging, leading and succeeding together.
Warm regards,
Bruce Bivins
