A Culture of Trust, Engagement, and Belonging:
-
A strong culture founded on trusting relationships will increase student success, create a positive working environment, and build community confidence and pride in our school district.
When we are being successful…
Students, families, and staff will feel safe, known, connected to others, and feel like they have a place here. Our culture will be one that accepts, respects, and seeks to understand others and our differences. We will build strong relationships within our schools and with our families by listening, intentional outreach, and an attitude of selflessness.
Operational Plan Objectives tied to this Strategic Direction:
-
