Blueprint for Success
All students attend school to learn. The 2024-2025 Blueprint for Success strategic plan aligns Gowanda Central School District’s mission, vision, collective commitments and goals into a collective, meaningful action that affects student learning. It is revised annually to ensure our district’s collective work is focused, aligned, purposeful, and timely. The 2024-2025 “Blueprint for Success” has been refined from the previous versions and it continues to outline our efforts for growth and continual improvement.
Priority Areas & Goals:
Based on community feedback and initial planning by the Board of Education and Leadership Team, the following areas were identified as priorities to be focused on in order to fulfill the mission of the district. Goals have been developed for each area:
- Student Growth and Achievement: Gowanda CSD will ensure all students learn at high levels with multiple opportunities to demonstrate growth.
- Social and Emotional Learning: Gowanda CSD will offer a comprehensive plan to offer appropriate social-emotional development.
- Family and Parent Engagement: Gowanda CSD will work to increase family engagement through communication, school-sponsored events, building relationships with trusted adults for each student and their family, and ensure all families feel welcome in the school environment.
- Supportive Culture and Climate: Promote district culture and climate through extended involvement of staff and community members in decisions and activities to further a safe and welcoming school environment.
The Blueprint for Success creates a roadmap for efforts to connect with each child and family while enhancing our connections as a school and community. Everyone is in this to work together and we all look forward to a school year focused on student growth and achievement.
