Families

Welcome to Laura MacArthur Elementary!

At Laura MacArthur Elementary, we embrace the SOAR acronym to guide our students' behavior and foster a positive learning environment. SOAR stands for:

Safe
Organized
Accountable
Respectful

These principles are integrated into our daily routines and expectations, helping students develop important life skills and creating a supportive atmosphere throughout the school. By encouraging our students to SOAR, we aim to:

  • Promote a safe and secure learning environment for all
  • Teach organizational skills that will benefit students in their academic and personal lives
  • Foster a sense of accountability and responsibility
  • Cultivate mutual respect among students, staff, and the wider school community

Our SOAR initiative is an essential part of our commitment to providing a welcoming and nurturing educational experience for every child at Laura MacArthur Elementary.
