DUMAS ISD

Mission Statement: Dumas Independent School District expects excellence by embracing the concepts of effective schools. A positive learning environment will be established and maintained by the shared responsibility of all personnel through their respective leadership abilities. Academic achievement will be developed through instructional consistency, maximum learning time, and a flexible curriculum, which will guide the students to become successful and productive members of society. A consistent manner of accounting using a variety of assessment methods will be used to ensure that students are tested over material taught and that mastery is achieved. The educational setting will provide a safe, secure, clean, attractive environment that promotes a supportive atmosphere conducive to teaching and learning. Based on the fact that everyone can learn, Dumas Independent School District personnel, parents, and community will encourage students to strive for their highest potential. Realizing that parents are also the child’s teachers, school personnel will be responsive to and encourage parental involvement in the student’s learning process.
