24-25 NSPS Priorities and Goals

10/2/2024

The NSPS District Strategic Plan outlines the following Annual Assessment Process: “In September of each school year, the Superintendent will present the year’s upcoming focus areas, goals, priorities, and initiatives. All school and district focus areas and initiatives will directly connect to the Strategic Plan’s overarching Strategies, Priorities, and Goals.”

1. High Standards, Quality Instruction, Curricula, and Student Success: All students will achieve high standards, annual growth, and graduate college- and career-ready as independent, creative, and contributing members of society.

High-Quality Curriculum Implementation - Right to Read Act (the science of reading) and new mathematics, social studies, and science curriculum.
Student Academic Proficiencies - Increase across all subject areas focusing on core English Language and Mathematics. Expand multi-tiered systems of support and student intervention/acceleration.
Assessments and Data Analysis - Inform instruction for acceleration/intervention through assessment system expansion to globally, and individually, track and monitor student learning.

2. Safe and Supportive Schools All students will learn in environments that embody a culture and climate of excellence, mutual respect, and safety.

Promote positive behavioral frameworks: Deans of Students. Consistency of SEL frameworks. Early intervention for social, and emotional support. Community and organizational partnerships.
Decrease student chronic absenteeism and truancy: Messaging on the importance of attendance. Early identification of group patterns and individual barriers to good attendance. Provide support and counseling as needed.

3. Quality Staff: All students will benefit when staff has ongoing access to quality professional development, professional learning networks, and time to work, meet, and plan collaboratively.

Professional Learning and Coaching: Professional development opportunities, professional learning communities, learning walks, Bridge-RI and NE-Basecamp partnerships.

4. Communication and Community Engagement: All students will benefit from increased family and community engagement that builds resources and opportunities for their success.

Community outreach: email, newsletters, social media, web. Facilities used for school and community events.
Stakeholder input: Family and student surveys/polls, SurveyWorks, booster organizations, School Improvement Teams, School Committee, accessibility to the community.
Community involvement: PTO, community partnerships (i.e. NSAA, NSHA, NS Public Library), school events.

5. Effective, Efficient, Responsive Operations and Facilities: All students will benefit from school and district operations, practices, systems, and facilities that support quality learning and work environments.

Policies and Procedures: Year-long focus on policy review and revisions
Facilities: Renovations and modernization at all schools, grounds, and facilities. “Warm, Safe, Dry”
