Board of Education District Goals in three keys areas of focus
Student Achievement and Accountability for all students: We will provide the opportunity for all students to show academic and personal growth within their individual grade level. With the goal of 80% or higher, the NWEA scores will measure students' academic and personal growth, emphasizing high standards and encouraging social and emotional learning.
Students will increase their social and emotional health. Progress towards this goal will be measured quantitatively for satisfaction of the SE counseling department with short stakeholder surveys and qualitatively with follow up questions so that improvements can be made if the perception of services diminishes.
