Unified School District #377

Strategic Plan

Board of Education

The USD 377 Board of Education, administration and staff are dedicated to providing each student with a quality education designed to teach 21^st century skills.  We believe every child can learn and be successful, and that a high-quality education is the fundamental right of every child. 

It is our commitment to promote a culture of academic excellence where students can experience the personal growth necessary for success.  We understand that a key element to our success is to build a strong parent-based partnership. A partnership where each student's academic plan for success is developed and closely monitored by both the school and the parents. 

Measuring Success One Student at at Time is how we ensure accountability for the progress of every student.  We accomplish this by using a variety of assessments and frequent monitoring of each student's achievement progress.  Along the way, teachers meet regularly to modify lessons, differentiate instructional strategies and provide additional resources when needed. 

Over the past four years we have made significant gains in academic achievement.  Every building has met Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) standards since the inception of NCLB.  Even so, we understand that our greatest challenge is still ahead of us and that we cannot rest until every child has reached their fullest potential. 

Thank you for taking time to visit our website, and please feel free to contact me anytime.  I can be reached by email at wisemans@usd377.org or by phone at 913-833-5050.  Have a great day!
 

Sincerely,

Stephen E. Wiseman, Superintendent of Schools
