Organizational Mission Statements and Personal Vision

Pueblo District 70

MISSION:

To educate each student to achieve his or her full academic potential.

VISION:

We see D70 as a place where all children and adults are valued, similarities and differences are addressed, individuals are respected, and all children are treated as our most valuable resource and best hope for the future. We see a safe and trusting environment where children and adults are actively engaged in lifelong learning. We see a partnership with our schools and communities that flexibly responds to the educational needs of all learners in an ever-changing world.

The mission statement and vision for our school and district allows members of our organization to create common goals and a sense of community.  "Long-range planning can provide the unique opportunity to view the system holistically with a principle focus toward the whole organization rather than isolated and seemingly independent components" (Bozeman, 2010, pg.10)  Through a common mission we reach to increase our ability to teach all students and encourage them to meet their full potential.  The mission statement and vision statement for Pueblo District 70 clearly reflects the values of our organization.  Each member of our district strives to ensure that all student's meet their academic potential.  "The design and implementation of an effective organizational vision will, by definition, reflect some significant changes within the organization" (Scoolis, 1998, pg.20).  As a community of learners we wish to evolve and change our community into an environment that embraces all learners.  I feel that the mission and vision statements of my school accurately reflects the values of our district.
