Overall District Mission

The Board of Education is dedicated to educating students to develop desired moral, ethical, and cultural values, to stimulate and expand a continual learning process and to cultivate an understanding and appreciation of the rights and responsibilities of American citizens, which will enable them to function effectively as independent individuals in a democratic society. The Board strives to maintain a comprehensive approach to satisfy the educational needs of the students of the district by meeting or exceeding the state's requirements.

The Board seeks to implement a variety of instructional methods and to increase the opportunities for the development of each individual's capabilities and personality. It is the district's goal to foster in students good work habits, integrity, self-discipline, individual creativity, originality, aesthetic appreciation, good sportsmanship, self-confidence and a sense of purpose. Extracurricular activities will be offered when possible to enhance the academic program.

The Board encourages parents and teachers to offer their expertise in helping to develop a school environment that is academically challenging, psychologically satisfying and socially fulfilling for students at all levels. The objectives of an educational program are best realized when mutual understanding, cooperation, and effective communication exist among the home, community, and school.

Vision Statement that Guides Technology Planning:

Babylon School District is committed to integrating technology into education to support student learning, staff development, and community engagement.

Our goal is to equip students and staff with the digital skills needed to thrive in today’s world, provide access to diverse educational resources at all levels, and maintain the infrastructure necessary to support these efforts. With the right tools, training, and support, students will use technology to explore, organize, and present information in meaningful ways that connect to their curriculum.

We recognize that today’s learners face a rapidly changing and complex world, requiring a broader set of skills than ever before. To meet these demands, our technology curriculum is designed to prepare students for success in the 21st century by aligning with national standards and ensuring equal access to technology for all.

Our learning environment is evolving:

Students must be able to find, analyze, and communicate information using a variety of media—text, video, and audio—to match their unique learning styles and strengths. As education continues to evolve, Babylon provides ongoing professional development for teachers and creating opportunities for students to take ownership of their learning, preparing them to be lifelong learners and responsible citizens.
