At P721R, The Richard H. Hungerford School we believe our Mission is-

     To help students develop to their maximum potential and functional levels by providing them with essential social, emotional, language, technological and academic skills.

Our program seeks to accomplish this goal by creating a nurturing environment that is physically and emotionally receptive to the needs of our students and their families. We use a cooperative, multisensory approach involving age appropriate, individualized instruction. We also believe in shared decision making that involves integrating the families and community of children in our school in the development of harmonious, cooperative and respectful policies that directly affect them.

The Hungerford School Core Values urge each staff member to strive for:

1. RESPECT - for each student, parent, sibling, and other staff member.

2. PROFESSIONALISM - truthfulness and integrity as we work as a team and with families and students.

3. SENSITIVITY - to the needs of the students and families.
