GOAL OVERVIEW

Goal 1: Future Ready Students

From the earliest ages, all SMUSD students engage in the purposeful integration of rigorous academic content and relevant experiences that develop the outcomes in our Portrait of a Graduate. Every graduate leaves SMUSD prepared for the future they choose.

Goal 2: Future Ready Learning Environments

All SMUSD classrooms and campuses are welcoming places where every student feels seen, heard and valued. Learning experiences are engaging and designed to promote academic, social-emotional, and physical well-being.

Goal 3: Future Ready Educators

SMUSD teachers, support staff, and administrators feel valued and supported by hiring, onboarding, evaluating, professional learning, and training practices that enable them to create Future Ready learning environments.

Goal 4: Future Ready System

All SMUSD systems—Business Services, Educational Services, Human Resources, and Governance—are designed to support the successful development of Future Ready students, educators, and learning environments.

“As the parent of two children attending our SMUSD schools, I was thrilled to participate in the process of creating the Portrait of a Graduate. I witnessed such a genuine passion and unwavering commitment from everyone toward our students’ academic success and emotional well being. The bridge between our schools and community is a strong one, and it was so well displayed during our working sessions. I can already see these skills and competencies at work in our schools, and I am enthusiastic about the long-lasting impacts this new vision will have on our students.”
