Our Mission and Vision...and how we make it happen!

Our Mission Statement

 

Franklin Delano Roosevelt High School’s mission is to provide an environment that enables all students to grow academically, intellectually, socially and emotionally. We recognize the importance of celebrating diversity and culture in our community and identifying and disrupting systems of systemic bias. 

 

Our focus is on personalizing our environment; students start in different places.  By developing a growth mindset, we help them activate their passion and persistence, so all students can reach their highest potential.

 

The FDR community works together so our students acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to be lifelong learners.  Our students will become college and career ready and are prepared for the emerging demands as global citizens of the technologically evolving 21st Century.

Instructional Focus 2025 - 2026

We are committed to creating a learning environment where every student receives the individualized instruction they need to thrive. Through common planning and collaboration, we will evaluate multiple data points (success criteria, ATLAS protocol, etc.), and prepare lessons to deliver targeted instruction aligned with Multi-tiered Systems of Support (MTSS). This framework ensures differentiated learning experiences that meet the needs of all students, with a focused commitment to improving outcomes for Multilingual Learners, Students with Disabilities, and Gifted Students.

Using data to inform instruction ensures that all students have meaningful opportunities to demonstrate their knowledge, understanding, and skills.

 

 

FDR, where success equals Diversity, Equity, Empowerment and Persistence
