School Vision: Quail Summit School strives to uphold the principles and beliefs as outlined in the Walnut Valley Unified School District vision statement.

Quail Summit Elementary School faculty and staff believe that excellence in education is found in an environment that nurtures the whole child. We believe that an effective school is one that holds high expectations for academic achievement, personal responsibility, social interaction, and service to the community. Our commitment to students, parents and school community is to create a safe place to learn, to explore, to self-discover, and to laugh and have fun.

Our goal is to help our students discover their gifts and the gifts of others, to appreciate differences in people and ideas and to work together as contributing members of a group. In addition, we expect students to work for their personal best in their individual work. We believe in encouraging excellence in our staff and our students while providing continuous support.

All of these core values contribute to our mission to be the best school that we can be. We aim high and we take risks to become better at what we do. We understand that making mistakes is a crucial part of learning and growing. Above all, the success of all students is the heart of our work.
