The school's mission is to provide an excellent educational experience for all children by creating a safe and nurturing environment that encourages learning, exploration, creativity, and respect for self and others.
The staff at Shepherd Elementary School are dedicated to helping each student reach their full potential. They strive to create an atmosphere where every child feels valued and respected while also challenging them academically. The teachers use innovative teaching methods such as project-based learning, hands-on activities, technology integration, and differentiated instruction to ensure that each student receives individualized attention.
In addition to academics, Shepherd Elementary School offers many extracurricular activities including sports teams (soccer, basketball), music classes (band & orchestra), art classes (painting & drawing), afterschool clubs (chess club & robotics club) and field trips throughout the year.
