Instructional Programs Overview
We believe the experiences students have in our division should be relevant, engaging, and aligned with our mission, vision, and core values.
We are also developing comprehensive, public-facing curricular documents organized around grade levels, content areas, and specific courses at the middle and high school. These resources are dynamic by nature, so we encourage our families to visit often: elementary for grades PK through 5, secondary for grades 6-8 and 9-12.
Our Strategic Plan
Our strategic plan, adopted in June, 2020, is centered around three goals, focusing efforts around preparing students for life through deeper learning, improving school climate, and maintaining safe schools with effective management.
Deeper Learning
“Deeper learning” speaks to our desire to re-focus our instruction beyond the standards. But that doesn’t mean we ignore them! Deeper learning is focused on preparing all students for their future through inquiry-based approaches in instruction that leads to self-motivated learners. Our 1:1 computing program has made Deeper Learning a focus by putting a device into student hands that supports anytime inquiry.
