Strategic Plan 2025 - 2030
Our 2020-2025 Strategic Plan (“The Mahwah Blueprint”) informed our work over the past five school years, serving as a collaborative process where all community members were able to share their perspectives about our district’s points of pride and areas for growth.
Through a series of town hall meetings, community members from across our schools and throughout Mahwah were able to attend opportunities to share out their points of view about our district’s potential. That feedback served as the basis for our four frames through which our work has been dedicated: those items connected to Curriculum and Instruction, Social-Emotional Learning, Community Connections, and Facilities.
As we near 2025, it is time to re-imagine, together, what our district can look like through the next five school years!
Our first Strategic Plan meeting will be held at Joyce Kilmer School on Monday, December 16, at 6:00 p.m., and all are invited to attend! An outside facilitator will work with us collectively to begin gathering information from our respective points of view, and the following meetings (on February 27 and April 9) will be used to synthesize our thoughts to crystallize into our Strategic Blueprint 2025-2030, where we will also work collaboratively to define the unique Flight of the Thunderbird.
If you are interested in joining us, please complete this RSVP so that we can plan our venue accordingly.
If you are not able to attend, we will be sending a follow-up communication that allows for you, as our school community, to share your thoughts through your survey responses.
Looking forward to doing this important work together!
