This year, we are excited to introduce our new Park Orchard Vision, Mission, and CLIMB Values. They put into words what we believe about our students and what we want for every Grizzly. Our vision is for every Grizzly to be ready for the climb—confident, resilient, kind, and prepared to keep moving forward.

Our new CLIMB Values—Connect, Learn, Include, Mindset, and Best—will help us get there. Along with our PAWS expectations, these values will help our students grow not only as learners, but as kind, responsible, and compassionate citizens who believe in themselves, contribute to their community, and care about others. This connects directly to our district's commitment to empower every student to achieve, believe, and contribute while supporting the success and well-being of all.

And while CLIMB is new, our Grizzlies already know their PAWS! We will continue to Practice Safety, Act Responsibly, Work Hard & Do Our Best, and Show Respect. PAWS are what our expectations look like every day, everywhere in our school.
