I am pleased to share with you the North Smithfield School District Strategic Plan for 2011- 2016.

Many of you have heard me and other administrators consistently refer to and speak about our “Plan’s” goals and objectives as the GUIDANCE that must connect to all of our “actions” and initiatives - professional development, curriculum revisions, improvement in specific areas of NECAP, budget proposals, School Improvement Plans – all are directly connected to our PLAN.

I encourage you to take a few minutes to review the Strategic Plan documents so noted below.

What remains to be completed?
1) Communicating the district’s mission, beliefs, and objectives/strategies to all stakeholder groups;
2) Developing and implementing the action plans for each objective;
3) Establishing a monitoring process to renew/revise action plans as necessary; and,
4) Setting a strategic direction to achieve the district’s mission, vision, and guiding beliefs.

In late November, I will have the opportunity to speak with and share the plan with parents at a PTO meeting. I hope you will attend.
