Strategic Plan

The Strategic Plan outlines Warden School District’s vision, priorities, indicators of success, and commitments. The District uses these components of the Strategic Plan to guide their work in order to ensure every student thrives and graduates ready for the future.

The priorities define the key areas of focus for the Warden District.

• Rigorous, culturally responsive teaching, and learning supported by data.
• Strong relationships with families and community.
• Effective teachers, leaders, and staff.
• Effective & efficient operations with responsible management of resources.

The Warden School District Family is committed to:

• Academic excellence through collaboration among students, staff, families, and community.
• Creating an emotionally and physically safe learning environment.
• Healthy relationships that embrace diversity and demonstrate dignity, respect, accountability, and trust.
• Providing every child with engaging, personalized instruction, support in a nurturing environment, and believing in their potential to achieve at high levels.
• Keeping students at the heart of our work; therefore, a student’s background, condition, and circumstance should not predict their progress and success.
