ChurchillCSD Welcome Back Letter

Welcome back to a year focused on learners at the center of all that we do! I join the Board of Trustees and staff of the district in building upon the great work of recent years. We spent the past year hearing from stakeholders about ideas and issues that impact children.  To drive us forward, we engaged in building our District Strategic Plan.  Our future work will focus around creating the most effective learning environments for all learners. To meet those expectations, we must use new techniques, including a variety of tools to teach new literacies, including computer science. We must increase personalized and competency-based learning and foster innovation and creativity, as these are keys to the future of a diversified and vibrant economy. We will support students as they understand and own their strengths and learning needs, provide targeted instruction in areas of need, and help students communicate effectively. We support the idea that Tony Buzan articulated, "Learning to learn is life's most important skill." District Goals:

• All learners will be life ready
• All learners will engaged citizens
• Internal and external communication will be improved & effective
