Moral Imperatives
The Pleasanton Unified School District is dedicated to the goal of having its students fulfill rigorous academic standards in preparation for future success, so that they can become well-informed, productive, and socially responsible citizens. We believe that the District must address the needs of each student as an individual while also developing strong partnerships with families, businesses, and the community at large. The District will act upon the principles that timely and effective communication is a necessity and that accountability is essential.

In order to do this, we have established some Moral Imperatives.

We Believe...

• with guidance and support all students can reach their greatest potential
• it is our responsibility to inspire curiosity and a passion for life long learning
• all students and staff have the right to a safe and respectful learning environment that fosters postive connections
• in providing learning that is innovative, irresistible, creative, relevant and rigorous
• in ensuring a culture and climate that promotes a highly-skilled, dedicated, and passionate educational team
• public education should focus on the whole child, provide equitable opportunities for all students, and create socially responsible individuals with character and integrity
