Our mission is to ensure all students’ academic success in a safe and connected environment.
Our vision is to become the best school district in the area. We will know we are successful when our students outperform our peer districts and the state average on all measures of essential skills in literacy and math, core content knowledge, and college and career readiness. In such a strong school district, our contributions to the lives and futures of our students are celebrated.
To achieve this vision, it is essential to focus on academic excellence while simultaneously building safe and positive learning environments. By creating these environments, we can raise expectations to ensure our students read at higher levels, significantly improve their mastery of grade-level content and skills, and promote a sense of pride, belonging, and connectedness.
Districtwide, all of us will need to ensure we are protecting the educational learning environment from distractions, reevaluate legacy practices that are not providing enough leverage, develop collegiality, and value teamwork over autonomy.
Districtwide, all teachers will need to employ our core instructional practices consistently, collaborate in and across grade levels, and act quickly to intervene when students fall short.
Districtwide, non ELA/Math teachers will need to promote mastery of content standards, and will be called upon to help support strong literacy and college and career readiness in their students with an increase in literacy-based activities in their classrooms.
Our administrators will need to focus on their role as instructional leaders in their buildings, remove barriers for our teachers and students, align the efforts of staff, and measure, track, and celebrate progress.
Our school board and district leadership will need to prioritize staff development and support, implement effective recruitment and retention strategies (including competitive compensation), provide robust curriculum and technology resources, and maintain excellent facilities, all while ensuring fiscal responsibility.
