Our mission is to fully prepare all students for high school and then for either the work world or college in a society that is increasingly dependent on technology. We will provide students with the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and experiences they need to contribute to and participate in our society. Our mission is to educate students who demonstrate they are:

• Proficient in reading comprehension, communication, computation, reasoning and problem solving in all subject areas.
• Capable of problem solving in a variety of real-life situations.
• Committed to good health and physical fitness.
• Active participants in the democratic process.
• Willing to assume responsibility for their actions.
• Respectful of the rights and feelings of others.
• Proficient in the use of good social skills and proper etiquette.
• Respectful of the many cultures that contribute to and make up our world community.
• Successful lifelong learners.

The Waukena Joint Union Elementary School Districts vision is to inspire students to become innovative, collaborative, and constructive citizens who embrace diversity, value education and honesty, develop a strong work ethic and a sense of responsibility that challenges them to be leaders in global society.
