Vision

The vision of Egypt Elementary is to increase the intellectual, social, and civic capacity of our students.

Mission

The mission of Egypt Elementary is to prepare all students to reach proficiency or higher; and to develop critical thinkers who are able to read with understanding, writer with purpose, and speak with clarity. By integrating content area studies with literacy, young readers grow into effective problem solvers. By differentiating instruction to meet individual needs, we are empowering students to become productive, knowledgeable citizens who are capable of making responsible choices throughout their lives.
