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.
