Over the past five years, the Reeds Spring School District has implemented its Vision 2025 Strategic Plan to grow and enhance the great things that are happening in our district. It is now time to reimagine the future for our students and begin the process of reviewing and revising our five-year strategic plan.
To kick off this process, we are actively engaging our community in developing a Portrait of a Graduate, a collective vision that articulates our aspirations for every student as they work their way toward graduation. Our Portrait of a Graduate will serve as North Star for our schools, helping drive our strategic plan and bringing our community together with a shared vision.
You are a valued member of our community, and we would love to have your voice and perspective as we strive for our Portrait of a Graduate to be locally developed with input from a variety of stakeholders. As a district, we believe collaboration of stakeholders is vital to the success of every student and we hope you will bring your unique perspective to this collaborative process.
Linked is a video providing testimony regarding the benefit of engaging the community in creating a vision for the district.
Over the next few months, the Portrait Design Team will explore the following questions:
What are the hopes, dreams, and aspirations our community has for our young people?
What are the skills and mindsets our children need for success in this rapidly changing and complex world?
What are the implications for the design of the learning experiences—and creating access for all students to those experiences—we provide in our school systems?
Save these dates! Our Portrait Design Team will meet four times to design the Portrait of a Graduate, and each meeting builds upon the other. We recognize this is a large time commitment, so anytime you can join us, it would be greatly appreciated.
