The staff, parents, and students at Temperance Kutner Elementary believe that it is critical for families and schools to work together to help students achieve high academic standards. Through a process that included teachers, families, students, and community representatives, the following are agreed-upon roles and responsibilities that we as partners will carry out to support student success in school and in life (ESSA Section 1116[d]).

Temperance Kutner Elementary is dedicated to ensuring that students are illustrating growth in academics by utilizing a research-based curriculum that is aligned with the California State Standards. Our staff is also committed to creating supportive and effective learning environments that support all students by building relationships with our students and community and by incorporating programs into our school day that foster building strong character and resilience. We are also focused on supporting our students through co-curricular activities that allow them to excel outside of the classroom. These components together ensure we are meeting our district goal of educating the whole child in mind, body, and spirit. (ESSA Section 1116[d][1]).
