To fulfill this mission, the school district with the input of many parents and faculty members developed a strategic plan. The plan contains a set of goals and supporting objective. The focal points of the plan include the development of a solid foundation of basic skills, an increase in students&#8217; ability to access modern technology, standardized tests and alternative assessment methods.<\/p>\n<p>The mission of the school district takes hold the first day the parent and the child enter our schools. The success of our mission depends upon the strength of the partnership among parents, the child and the teachers.
