Mary Rowlandson Elementary School

Imagine a school....In which all children achieve at high levels, regardless of their backgrounds... That treats all children as gifted, and builds on their talents through enrichment strategies, independent research, problem solving, science, writing,music and art. In which all members of the school community collaborate to achieve that vision by making major decisions about curriculum, instructional strategies, and school organization...Where ideas count... This is the Mary Rowlandson Elementary School

"I believe in you, you can do it, I won't give up on you and effort counts. " These are four very powerful statements that can make a difference in the lives of those around us. There is clear research that demonstrates these statements can raise student performance. We expect a lot of students at Mary Rowlandson and are continually looking for ways to help them succeed. Every morning fourth grade students read morning announcements with the Pledge of Allegiance and the Mary Rowlandson Promise listed below. The staff has worked to create a Mary Rowlandson Promise. A promise that we make to students and one they make themselves.

The Mary Rowlandson Promise
My work is important, I will always work hard.
People believe in me and I believe in myself.
I won't give up and I will not give up on you.
My effort counts so I will always try.
I am proud to be me here at MRE

Sincerely,
Sean O'Shea
