It
is the mission of Paxton-Buckley-Loda Community Unit School District
No.10 to prepare each student to be a successful citizen as demonstrated
through strong character, responsible actions, and a passion for life-long
learning. PBL students will be empowered with the skills that allow
them to read with comprehension, communicate clearly, utilize technology,
think critically, work effectively with others, and use information
to solve problems. PBL is committed to a systematic approach of support
and intervention to assist each individual in reaching his or her full
potential. We are dedicated to providing a safe environment while fostering
a climate of high expectations for our students, staff, and the communities
we serve.

Excellence
through rigor, relevance, and relationships.
Rigor: PBL is dedicated to providing a rigorous curriculum, coherent
across grade levels, where students learn, think, comprehend, and communicate
analytically.
Due to a rigorous curriculum:
I can achieve anything by giving maximum effort, using my academic
skills to think critically, to solve problems, and to communicate with
others.
Relevance: Relevance is reinforced at PBL by making curricular
connections between learning objectives and real life experiences. Students
will prepare for adult roles by learning and applying fundamental skills
and competencies.
My educational experiences are relevant to me because:
I can be a self motivated, life-long learner.
I can be accountable to myself and others.
I can plan for the future by adapting easily to change and managing
new technologies and information.
Relationships: Positive relationships are the foundation for
all learning experiences at PBL. Students,staff, parents and community
members will collaborate to create and foster a safe environment where
respect for others and tolerance of individual differences are modeled
and expected at all times.
To build positive relationships:
I can be tolerant and accepting of individual differences.
I can demonstrate responsibility through good decision making.
I can display good citizenship by representing myself, my school,
my community, and my country with pride.
I can achieve my goals through self motivation and by encouraging
and working with others.
