Our Mission 

At AES, ALL Panthers ROAR!

ROARS Expectations: 

At Amherst Elementary, we believe that ALL students can be leaders, learners, and kind community members. Our ROARS expectations guide behavior throughout the school and help create a safe, respectful, and supportive environment for everyone.

R – Respectful: We treat all people with kindness and care. We use positive words and actions, and we follow directions the first time.

O – On Task: We stay focused on learning. We listen, follow directions, and make sure we’re in the right place doing the right thing.

A – Accountable: We take responsibility for our own choices. We admit mistakes, work to fix them, and always strive to improve.

R – Responsible: We take care of ourselves, our belongings, and our school community. We come ready to learn, every day.

S – Success: At AES, ALL Panthers can achieve success. We work hard, make good choices, support one another, and celebrate growth – big and small.
