Planning for Our Future
Planning for Our Future
The next 18 months are an important time for our school district because we are going to be working to redefine VPS’s vision, goals, objectives and priorities. As part of a process called strategic planning, we will be gathering input from students, staff members, families and the community in many different ways so that your thoughts and feedback will be the foundation to shaping our path forward. Because our final strategic plan will guide our work for the next five years, we want to ensure it reflects the shared hopes and goals of the people who learn, work and live here.
Please join us in the first phase of the project by providing your personal hopes, aspirations and dreams for our students now: https://my.thoughtexchange.com/scroll/502658099/welcome
Planes para nuestro futuro
Los próximos 18 meses son un periodo importante para nuestro distrito escolar porque
estaremos trabajando en redefinir la visión, las metas, los objetivos y las prioridades del Distrito
Escolar “Vancouver Public Schools” (VPS, por sus siglas en inglés). Como parte de un proceso
llamado planificación estratégica, estaremos recopilando opiniones de estudiantes, miembros
del personal, familias y la comunidad de muchas diferentes maneras para que sus opiniones y
comentarios sean la base para dar forma a nuestro camino hacia delante. Debido a que nuestra
planificación estratégica final guiará nuestro trabajo durante los próximos cinco años, queremos
asegurarnos que refleja las esperanzas y metas compartidas de las personas que aprenden,
trabajan y viven aquí.
Por favor participe ahora en esta primera fase del proyecto proporcionando sus esperanzas,
aspiraciones y sueños personales para nuestros estudiantes:

Планируем наше будущее
Последующие 18 месяцев являются важным периодом для нашего школьного района потому, что мы будем работать над пересмотром миссии, целей, задач и приоритетов VPS. В рамках этого процесса, который называется стратегическим планированием, мы будем учитывать мнения наших учащихся и их семей, сотрудников и общественности для того, чтобы на основе ваших идей и откликов наметить план наших дальнейших действий. Поскольку мы будем руководствоваться в нашей работе этим планом в течение последующих пяти лет, мы хотели бы приложить все силы к тому, чтобы он отражал надежды и цели всех, кто здесь учится, работает и живёт.
Пожалуйста, присоединяйтесь к нам на первой фазе проекта и поделитесь тем, на что вы надеетесь, к чему стремитесь и о чём мечтаете для своих учеников сейчас: https://my.thoughtexchange.com/scroll/502658099/welcome
