Letters from the Superintendent and
Monthly Updates
|
Dear Community,
Over the years, Poway Unified has been an innovative leader in education and has a
strong local, state, and national reputation for the quality of its educational program. |
|
We remain
committed to moving Poway Unified to the next level of excellence. The School Board has
adopted a strategic plan that builds on our tradition of excellence while raising
expectations for all students. We are committed to providing opportunities for all
students to reach their potential. In particular, we are striving to significantly
increase the number of students who are well prepared for college. To help guide our
efforts, we have set measurable targets for our graduates, including:
* A 100% pass rate for
the new and rigorous California High School Exit Exam
* Increased
completion of the University of California and California State
University “a-g” entry requirements
* Expanded
participation in advanced placement classes
In addition, we have established key indicators throughout the grade levels to help you
better understand how your child is progressing and to inform systematic improvement
efforts.
We appreciate and value the importance of helping each and every child succeed, and we
understand that by having an accountability system where we share data and hold
ourselves accountable, we can do an even better job than what we have done historically.
We recognize that in order to realize our vision of educational excellence for all
students, we need to attract and retain the very best teachers, support staff, and
administrative leaders. We also recognize the importance that parents play in the
education of their children and the need for an active partnership between home and
school. In addition, a cooperative relationship with city offices, businesses, nonprofit
groups, citizenry, and local higher education institutions supports our efforts in the
continued pursuit of excellence.
We believe that through shared commitment and thoughtful planning, coupled with a strong
accountability system, we can build an even better educational program that will
challenge all of our students to do their very best. We already see evidence that the
annual State of the District report helps us realize this commitment. We look forward to
working together with our community to continue to move our system forward.
Sincerely,
Donald A. Phillips, Ed.D.
Superintendent
