We support responsible citizenship by reinforcing morals and values.
We recognize and celebrate our diversity.
We support a staff committed to learning and growing.
We will build a sense of school community through effective communication.
We will provide strong leadership, a safe environment, clear goals, high expectations, and continuous assessment.

Our work is focused on providing a healthy and safe learning environment where students can realize their full potential and prepare to become successful citizens within this global society.

District Goals

District Goals 2024 - 2025

Goal I - Curriculum and Instruction

Academic Excellence

To provide rigorous curricular programs for students to promote critical thinking (PreK - 12th grade). Our instructional program supports the educational needs of all students, in an equitable, inclusive and safe learning environment. This will be measured by comparative data to include, but not limited to:

Graduation – complete Portrait of a Graduate to demonstrate proficiency: must be critical thinkers, innovative problem solvers, literate across all content areas, culturally competent, socially-emotionally competent, effective communicators, and global citizens
Credit Accumulation – analyze data on credit accumulation and passing grades at the MS and HS to increase student achievement
Attendance – analyze data, emphasize attendance teams and increase family education on how attendance is a vital indicator of the future success of students in order to decrease chronic absenteeism.
Assessments – Early Literacy Assessments, Fountas & Pinnell, Renaissance Star, 3rd - 8th Grade State Assessments, NYSITELL, NYSESLAT, Regents, AP exams, SAT and ACT

Expand Learning Opportunities

To expand learning opportunities across the district to create enriching activities to support critical thinking, collaboration and choice in classroom-based instruction. Such opportunities allow students to develop core social competencies, such as self-efficacy, that contribute to success in both academic settings and post-secondary pursuits.

Explore enhanced course offerings and choices across areas, inclusive of such considerations as dual enrollment courses, financial literacy, engineering, fine arts, etc.
Review courses & program at the middle school level for greater student engagement & success.
Explore technology resources especially as these relate to Artificial Intelligence and how these integrate into our educational systems from the student level to the teacher & staff level.
Continue to explore and participate in competitive opportunities to enhance student skills and experiences across the curriculum.

Social Emotional Growth

Support students’ fundamental social and emotional skills based on the knowledge that such skills are key to children’s self-awareness, learning, perseverance, and ability to collaborate. The focus on the social emotional growth of students is intentional, with the goal in mind, for students to be successful.

Improve school-wide norms and procedures across the district that will result in the increase of attendance, course credit accumulation, and graduation rate.
Enhancing positive behavioral interventions and ensuring appropriate guidelines within programs that increase student engagement and students’ sense of belonging.

Goal II - Business & Finance

Transparency and Accountability

To create a fiscally responsible budget for the 2025 - 2026 school year, as we continue to be financially accountable and educationally responsive. This is measured by:

Passing a fiscally responsible budget for the 2025-2026 school year in the Spring of 2025, mindful of the community, accountable in all areas of spending and meeting the needs of our students.
Maintaining reserves for use during the budget process to offset expenses, avoid elimination of programs and staff as well as work towards the enhancements of instructional spaces.
Continue to explore and advocate for additional funding streams to include: grant writing, state aid/foundation aid support and/or cultivating donors.

Goal III - Business, Finance, and Facilities

Health and Safety
