Educational Philosophy/School District Mission

The mission of Belton School District #124, as a proud reflection of our community, is to inspire and empower all students to reach individual potential by providing learning experiences that challenge and engage within a safe, supportive environment designed to prepare students to thrive and excel.

The district has a Board-approved Comprehensive School Improvement Plan (CSIP) and a Comprehensive Strategic Plan guided by the mission statement and based on the district's fundamental beliefs about teaching and learning. This plan serves as the district's foundation for allocating resources, developing policies and procedures, and selecting and implementing instructional programs designed to raise student achievement.

The CSIP and Strategic Plan was developed through the combined efforts of Board members, staff, administrators, students, parents/guardians and community members and is ongoing. Gaols, outcomes or objectives are provided in sufficient detail to direct the improvement efforts of the district for at least a five-year period. The CSIP is evaluated and updated as necessary.

A copy of the district's CSIP is available in the Pupil Services Office, 110 W. Walnut, Belton, Mo., second floor.
