Dear North Reading Public Schools Community,
For the past two and a half years we have been working as a leadership team to develop the next phase of our strategic plan for district improvement: NPRS 2025. We have gathered information from all stakeholders, including students, educators, administrators, staff, families, parents, caregivers, and community members about what we value in North Reading and what we believe should be a part of our plan.
Last spring we held forums and collected information as a part of the “Back to the Future” visioning protocol and stakeholders shared where we are now and where we hope to be by the spring of 2025. From there our leadership team developed objectives for each school year and identified the “big rocks” that encompassed the work that we will be undertaking as a district.
The three areas that we identified are Student Support Services; Teaching & Learning; and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Under these larger umbrellas come the strategic objectives, focus areas, and the strategic initiatives for each school year.
We are now prepared to share out a draft of the NRPS 2025 plan for public comment and feedback so that we can make any adjustments as we head into the 2022-23 school year.
By visiting this page on our website: https://www.north-reading.k12.
We have created a one page interactive graphic that will allow those looking to review the plan the ability to view it in its entirety or to also see some quick snapshots of each element for the upcoming 2022-23 school year or for seeing the strategic initiatives under each focus area for each year of the plan through the spring of 2025.
In addition, last summer we also received feedback from all stakeholders on what words and phrases they wanted to see as a part of our district’s vision and mission statements. With that information we have created a “Student Experience Vision Statement” as well as a revised “Mission Statement” and we are seeking input on these items as well.
Student Experience Vision Statement
All students in North Reading will feel welcome, safe, and valued for who they are and supported to reach their potential as global citizens. Students will feel personally connected to their learning experiences and will feel represented inside and outside of the classroom ensuring a sense of belonging.
Mission Statement
The North Reading Public Schools provide a safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environment where students develop both their social-emotional and academic skills and abilities through an exploration of a wide range of content areas, the arts, athletics, and extra-curricular opportunities. With a dedication to excellence, service, and life-long learning our students will engage collaboratively, think critically, embrace diversity, and value equity in order to become productive global citizens.
We offer a sincere thank you to everyone who has been involved in this process and we look forward to the next steps in continuing this important work for the students of the North Reading Public Schools.
Thank you for your interest in providing our district feedback on this important process for continuous improvement.
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Daly
