Message from John P. Price, Superintendent

Dear Families,

The district has adopted ambitious goals for the next five years. Approved by the Independent Authority in June, these goals will guide the work of teachers and principals. Our work together is focused on improving the academic achievement of all of our students.

Our goals are:

Goal #1 - Increase the percentage of third graders reaching grade level standards by focusing on early instruction and intervention

Goal #2 - Increase the rate of academic growth for ALL students in both reading and mathematics

Goal #3 - Increase the four year graduation rate to 80%

Goal #4 - Prepare each student for success after high school by creating a post-secondary plan for each student

These goals will require a great deal of work from our District 187 staff, and from each of you! Only by working together can we achieve these goals.

At home, you can make sure that you child reads every day, completes all of their homework, and gets a good night rest. Talk with your child about their school work and their grades, and show them that what they do in school is important to you.

Our goals are all focused on all our kids. When we reach these goals, we know that our students will be even better prepared for college and career.

Un Mensaje de John P. Price, Superintendente del Distrito

Queridas familias,

El distrito ha adoptado metas ambiciosas para los próximos cinco años. Aprobado por la Autoridad Independiente en junio, estos objetivos guiarán el trabajo de los maestros y directores. Nuestro trabajo en conjunto se centra en mejorar el logro académico de todos nuestros estudiantes.

Nuestros objetivos son:

Meta #1 - Aumentar el porcentaje de estudiantes de tercer grado que alcanzan los estándares de nivel de grado al enfocarse en la instrucción e intervención temprana

Meta #2 - Aumentar la tasa de crecimiento académico para TODOS los estudiantes en lectura y matemáticas

Meta #3 - Aumentar la tasa de graduación a 80%

Meta #4 - Preparar a cada estudiante para el éxito después de la escuela secundaria creando un plan para cada estudiante.

¡Estas metas requerirán mucho trabajo de parte de nuestro personal del Distrito 187 y de cada uno de ustedes! Solo trabajando juntos podemos lograr estos objetivos.

En casa, puede asegurarse de que su hijo lea todos los días, termine toda su tarea y descanse bien por la noche. Hable con su hijo sobre su trabajo escolar y sus calificaciones, y muéstreles que lo que hacen en la escuela es importante para usted.

Nuestras metas están enfocadas en todos nuestros niños. Cuando alcancemos estos objetivos, sabemos que nuestros estudiantes estarán aún mejor preparados para la universidad y para la carrera que escojan.
