JPS Belief Statement   We believe that:    All students regardless of gender, race, creed, or handicap have worth and are capable of learning.    There must be a clear alignment among curriculum, instructional practice, and assessment.    All students are enriched by having the opportunity to learn from one another.    Schools should be orderly, violence free, and promote the emotional and physical wellness of students and staff.    Learning is best facilitated by a strong partnership among students, staff, parents, and community.    Learning is a lifelong process.    Quality schools make a positive difference in the lives of all students.
