Our Mission & Philosophy
Fry School Mission Statement
To provide a nurturing, academic environment in which all students can learn to think critically and creatively, interact cooperatively, and live responsibly in order to achieve their fullest potential.
To foster a collaborative environment that encourages all building staff to share expertise, techniques and philosophies that enhance professional development.
To promote an alliance among all students, parents, staff and members of the community that prepares students to contribute to society.
What We're All About.....
Children develop at different rates, and at Fry, our focus is to foster individual growth in both academics and human development. Our educational challenge is to produce a student who has learned how to learn, one who has learned how to adapt to change, one who knows that the ultimate security lies not in possessing knowledge - because it will surely change - but in the ability to seek it and use it.
Student work and progress is assessed on a daily basis. All of us continually ask, "Is the rate and content of learning sufficient?" We continually seek growth and improvement. Strategies and techniques are employed so that every child will be successful. We will continually seek to provide the environment that will enable every child to be the best that they can be, to become learners for the rest of their lives.

"A child is a person who is going to carry on what you have started. He is going to sit where you are sitting, and when you are gone, attend to those things that you think are important. You may adopt all the policies you please, but how they are carried out depends on him. He will assume control of your cities, states, and nations. He is going to move in and take over your churches, schools, universities and corporations....the fate of humanity is in his hands."
-- Abraham Lincoln
