A note from the Executive Director
We were able with the help of some amazing teachers, parents, administrators, community members and partners to finish our strategic plan. We ended with the four main goals with actions steps for each objective.
The following is a brief overview:
1. A system for everyone to see ONE vision.
2. More community involvement in schools (business and community)
3. Market our schools better to stakeholders
4. Inclusive involvement from all parents at all schools
Our next step is to etablish an advisory council for the feeder to oversee the plan and begin steps to enable a 501 c for the WTW Feeder.
What an exciting time to be a WTW Longhorn!!!!
Please mark your calendars for all the exciting upcoming events listed in the newsletter.
We want you to be an active participant in our WTW schools.
