Mission: The GMRSD will provide quality educational opportunities that ensure the individual success of all students within a safe and supportive environment and build life-long learners who will meet society’s challenges into and beyond the 21^st century. To that end, it is anticipated that all students will achieve the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards (NJCCCS) at all grade levels.

Vision: The vision of the GMRSD is to provide the opportunity for students, faculty, staff, parents, and community to develop, through involvement, a sense of ownership, spirit, and price in the school community. Not only must students be prepared academically, they must be nurtured with a sense of cultural awareness, which includes an appreciation of the arts, of others, of diversity, and of the community.

Values: We believe:

Ø The focus must be on the needs of the students.

Ø Learning is a lifelong continuous process and that we are a community of learners.

Ø Individuals must develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes to make wise choices about themselves and their environments.

Ø Effective learning takes place in an atmosphere of personal relevance and enthusiasm.

Ø Strength is built through cooperation and collaboration and that the contribution of everyone is valued.

Ø A global worldview recognizes that individuals are dependent upon each other and on the environment.

Ø Education is a shared responsibility of the school, home, and community.
