Mission, Beliefs, and Vision
Mission of the Wethersfield Public Schools
Education in Wethersfield is the shared responsibility of
schools, students, families, and other community agencies
working together so that Wethersfield students may realize their
full potential. Accordingly, the mission of the Wethersfield
Public Schools is to ensure that all students will:
-
Acquire skills and knowledge for life-long learning,
enabling them to compete in a global economy;
-
Develop a positive sense of self, enabling them to set high
expectations;
-
Develop self-discipline and function as responsible citizens
of society; and
-
Develop and understand their ethical, cultural, aesthetic,
and intellectual values and respect those of others.
Beliefs of the
Wethersfield Public Schools
The
Wethersfield Board of Education believes that:
-
All Wethersfield students should be educated in a safe and
secure learning environment that provides appropriate
facilities, personnel, and programs;
-
The curricula of the Wethersfield schools should be
designed, implemented, and assessed to enable all students
to realize their full potential;
-
While the schools bear the primary responsibility for the
formal education of Wethersfield youth, the family and the
community share in that responsibility. To meet that common
obligation, the Wethersfield schools should foster a
partnership with the community;
-
All educational programs should be operated in a fiscally
responsible manner;
-
The Wethersfield schools should employ and train personnel
who will meet the instructional needs of students; and
-
All educational programs and services should incorporate
current practices and contemporary research, materials, and
equipment.
Summary Vision
Statement of the Wethersfield Board of Education
The Wethersfield
Board of Education has created and adopted a vision for the
Wethersfield Public Schools that focuses on three areas of
central importance to us: 1) Outcomes and opportunities for our
students; 2) The overall quality of our school system; and 3)
The school system's relationship with the Wethersfield
community. Our vision in these three areas is best summarized by
the following:
-
As a result of
the
opportunities and outcomes they will have experienced
in our school system, our students will value their
years in the Wethersfield Public Schools and face their
future with optimism and confidence.
-
The overall
quality of our school system will be recognized for its
excellence in the region and the state.
-
The school
system's relationship with the Wethersfield community
will be as an active partner with town government and civic
organizations in strengthening the quality of life in our
community.
