Core Values

Respect for learning, respect for others, and respect for property

Mission Statement

Our mission is to best prepare every student at Field School for individual academic and personal success through intellectual challenge, honest and respectful dialogue, and collaboration between teachers, students, families and the community. There are four main elements of this mission:

• Provide outstanding and appropriately differentiated curriculum
• Focus on the development of each child as a confident learner and productive public member of the greater community
• Prepare students and their support networks to manage transitions in the education process
• Acquire and maintain critical building-wide infrastructure and technology

At the Field School we…

• Expect all students to strive for excellence in an atmosphere of high, yet realistic, expectations, which are constantly readjusted as students progress as learners;
• Create and maintain a sense of community and responsibility by emphasizing respect for learning, respect for others and respect for property;
• Provide a safe, caring and challenging learning environment where students take risks, ask questions, and feel in control of their learning in order to achieve their fullest potential;
• Develop critical thinking, creative thinking, problem-solving skills and a sense of joy and wonder about the learning process;
• Provide for each student’s individual development and self-esteem;
• Create a cooperative school environment where students are both active and interactive learners;
• Maintain open channels for sharing ideas and receiving feedback from parents and the greater Weston Community.
• Maintain a rigorous curriculum and a variety of instructional strategies

School Culture

Because Field School is an upper elementary school, we want to find ways to encourage you to take responsibility for what you do, to set high standards for yourself, to help each other solve problems, and to understand that “mistakes help you learn.” We also want you to find joy in learning and feel connected to the Field School community!

Please remember, we are here to help you. We want you to feel safe coming to any of us to help you solve a problem or ask advice, just as you would from an adult at home who cares a great deal about you and your well-being. We have these conversations with students all the time. It is another way for us to share being part of the “Field School family.”

As you participate in our community, we hope you are able to positively contribute to our school environment and that you’ll leave school with a strong understanding of how to be a kind, compassionate, and productive community member.
