Culture of Relationships

A successful district values inclusivity, effective communication, positive relationships, and is the heart of our community. Staff, students, and families want to be involved in schools where they are known, cared for, valued, and empowered.  The community needs to feel connected to the work of the district. 

Goals:

  1. Develop positive and supportive relationships between staff, students and families district-wide.
  2. Continue growing partnerships with local businesses and organizations that benefit our staff, students, and families. 

Strategies:

  • Develop a uniform communication framework from the district and from schools that is user-friendly and engages the community. 
  • Evaluate and refine the advisory committee process for parents and teachers, while also developing a student advisory committee. 
  • The district will facilitate at least four community engagement events and each school will hold at least two community engagement events per year with an effort to plan for a variety of locations.  
  • Create a community outreach advisory group that will develop a framework for identifying strategic alliances, laying out goals, keeping track of progress, and evaluating results. 
  • Develop a comprehensive volunteer program to encourage community engagement.
  • Develop a uniform approach to student mentoring that includes engagement with community members and students in partnership with school staff.
  • Offer training and resources to staff and families to help them develop strong relationships that support the success and wellbeing of all students.
  • Develop a plan for targeted community outreach initiatives to traditionally underserved and underrepresented populations.
