Based upon a systematic and ongoing collection of performance data, students at, above and below grade level will receive targeted instruction to continue their academic growth.
By providing relevance and consistently communicating higher expectations for student performance, we will raise aspirations of students, parents and staff to achieve more than “the minimum” requirement.
Through improved efficiencies and a more systematic approach to maintenance, the district will raise expectations for the condition and appearance of our buildings and grounds.
By evaluating the condition of our facilities, as well as future instructional priorities of the larger Marion learning community, we will determine the focus, scope and timing of future capital projects.
We will engage all stakeholders in the development of a more comprehensive approach to bullying concerns, as well as in the development of a more culturally responsive, inclusive and respectful learning culture.
We will explore new opportunities to engage the disengaged students (not involved in sports, music or other extracurricular activities) into the “Black Knight” community.
We will implement strategies to better communicate the changing expectations and instructional options for students as they transition from the elementary to the Jr-Sr High.
We will implement strategies to help ensure more efficient teacher-parent/guardian communication, particularly as it relates to students’ academic progress and any work-study concerns.
