The mission of the Winters Joint Unified School District is to provide a quality education to all of our students, insuring that all students and the entire educational community actively participate and are valuable contributors to our changing society.

We will accomplish this through the development of skills, concepts and processes that build knowledge, foster critical thinking, and enhance positive social interaction in a supportive, safe environment that fosters the uniqueness and diversity of the individual learner.

Each student in the Winters Joint Unified School District is of extreme value and will be provided every opportunity to develop to his or her fullest potential. In reaching his/her full potential, each student will achieve academic success, while developing a positive self-concept.

Students educated in the Winters Schools will be self-motivated, responsible, communicative, cooperative, involved citizens of the future. We see our students as having an awareness of other people, freedom, justice and an appreciation of other cultures and environments so they live intelligently and productively in a highly democratic and ever increasing technological society.

We will accomplish this by providing a process of learning that emphasizes a balance between the basics and fundamentals in the areas of literacy and mathematics, while continuing to stress the importance of critical thinking and exploring new ideas.
